PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Merrill Corporation (www.merrillcorp.com), a global provider of secure content sharing, regulated communications and disclosure services, announced that it has launched a new data center in Hong Kong for Merrill DataSite®.

The launch of the new data center is further evidence of the commitment that Merrill is making to the APAC region. We’re truly putting the needs of our customers first.”
Ms. Yu added, “We’re the first provider to be fully accredited with ISO/IEC 27001, the highest-level security certification. Combined with our innovative technology, unparalleled depth of subject and product expertise and now expanding geographic presence, we are strategically positioned to offer best-in-class sales and service for new and existing customers.”

The new data center provides numerous user benefits, including regional hosting, international compliance, utilization of new Asian language enhancements, site-wide text search and enhanced document processing and locally-based service and sales directors, among other end-user benefits.
