Overview
Harman International
is the world’s leading manufacturer of high-quality, high-fidelity audio
products and electronic systems. With significant equity in its
brands, including Harman Kardon, JBL, Infinity, Revel, Audioaccess,
Lexicon, Mark Levinson, AKG, Studer, BSS, dbx, Soundcraft and Crown;
the company needed to maximize and safeguard its online brand presence.
Key Challenges
Prior to the VeriSign solution, multiple departments
within Harman purchased and managed domain names. Tracking and maintaining
the names was a difficult, time consuming process. The company needed
to create a centralized brand infrastructure that would allow the marketing
group the ability to manage online brands, but provide multi-level access
for IT and legal staff.

“With
several hundred domain names under management today, we rely on VeriSign®
Digital Brand Management Services to help manage and safeguard our brands
online.”
