Digital River Manages Online Store for Network Dynamics' eBlocs Software Products
MINNEAPOLIS, March 29, 2005-- Digital River, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRIV), a global leader in e-commerce outsourcing, today announced that it is providing e-commerce support for Network Dynamics Corporation. Based on the agreement, Digital River is hosting the site, located at www.eblocs.com, as well as providing online order management, fraud prevention, reporting and analytics, digital product fulfillment, e-marketing and customer service. Shoppers can try or purchase eBlocs spyware, adware and spam blocking software products by selecting any of the Try It! or Buy It! buttons located by the product information throughout the company's e-commerce site.
To remain competitive, software publishers with products in the computer and user protection space need to make their software readily available and easily accessible to as broad of a customer base as possible, said Dave Alampi, Digital River's vice president of marketing. By outsourcing their e-commerce operations to Digital River , we can help ensure their online stores have the highest level of uptime and are operating smoothly for customers. By managing the e-commerce operations for over 40,000 companies for nearly a decade, we have developed the e-commerce expertise and strategies that can help companies maximize the opportunities available through an online sales channel.
Consumers shopping on Network Dynamics' eBlocs site can find software products that are designed to protect users' computers and privacy by removing malicious installations of spyware and adware, as well as blocking pop-ups, unwanted ads and spam. Featured product titles include SpyBlocs, SpamBlocs and Pop-up Blocs. Based on the e-commerce agreement between the two companies, Network Dynamics also is providing access to trial and full versions of its products as part of Digital River 's industry-leading catalog of downloadable software and digital products. The catalog is available through the online retail, content and portal sites that comprise Digital River 's Sales Network. By marketing and selling their products through the Network, Digital River clients can enhance visibility for their products.
We outsourced our eBlocs online store to Digital River because the company offered us the e-commerce expertise we were looking for in a partner, said Gary Guseinov, CEO of Network Dynamics. The company's world-class e-commerce infrastructure provides the stability and reliability we need to run a successful e-commerce site. We can offer our customers both trial and full versions of our software through a user-friendly shopping experience by leveraging Digital River 's industry-leading e-commerce capabilities.
