(DigitalRiver.com) announced on Thursday that it has acquired certain assets and liabilities of the electronic software distribution (ESD) business belonging to Metatec International Inc.
Digital River says it plans to use Metatec's ESD technology platform to offer expanded software distribution and entitlement management capabilities as an integrated part of its e-commerce system. The acquisition, says Digital River, opens new market opportunities for the company among large enterprise software vendors and provides an enhanced solution to the company's existing customers.
"With our acquisition of Metatec's ESD business, we plan to extend our target market by moving into the enterprise software market," said Joel Ronning, Digital River's CEO. "By integrating Metatec's platform, we can offer large publishers a highly cost effective and efficient solution for electronic management, maintenance and distribution of software for enterprise licensees. There is a strong growth opportunity for Digital River in this strategic arena, and we are well positioned to leverage our expertise and market leadership in the desktop application software market."
Digital River says it is augmenting its e-commerce platform using Metatec's ESD engine, allowing enterprise software publishers to use sophisticated catalog and content management and personalized customer-facing portals to service their licensees. Providing immediate access and download capabilities for upgrades, updates, patches, documentation and other materials will allow publishers to reduce operating costs, streamline release cycles and increase renewal rates. | Reads: 854 | Category: General | Source: TheWHIR : Web Host Industry Reviews
