Award-winning disk utilities for the novice to expert now available at nearly 600 e-stores of major national and regional retailers
March 25, 2003, South San Francisco
Acronis, Inc., the technological leader in systems software
development, announced it has significantly improved its Web
store's transaction capabilities, marketing tools and system
performance with the signing of a new e-commerce partner, Digital
River, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRIV), a global leader in e-commerce
outsourcing.
Based on the agreement, Digital River built
Acronis' new e-commerce site, located at acronis.com.mx. In
addition to hosting and managing the new site, Digital River, is
leveraging its network of more than 600 online retailers to open
third-party sales channels for Acronis' full line of disk
utilities. Digital River's online retailer network includes local
and regional retailers as well as national retailers such as
Staples.com.
"Our online business was growing beyond
capacity," said Max Tsypliaev, president of Acronis, Inc. "With the
new e-commerce store, users will have the ability to buy either
retail boxed or downloadable versions of our award-winning
utilities and we will be able to sustain our high volume of
transactions quickly and accurately. Ultimately, this partnership
with Digital River will allow us to provide the best possible
customer service to our users."
"We will use the robust e-commerce system and
best practices that we have developed to help Acronis achieve its
online business goals," said Jay Kerutis, Digital River's president
of Software and Digital Commerce Services. "While our world-class
e-commerce platform provides Acronis with the stability and
scalability needed to successfully manage increasing traffic
levels, our e-marketing services can help them capitalize on them.
Our e-marketing services can help Acronis increase the exposure of
its products via online promotions, e-mail campaigns and
partnerships with our online retail clients."

"Customers really appreciate the product
information, presentation and inclusion of prices that allows them
to get a meaningful understanding of how they can use the
products," continued Tsypliaev. "Since we focus on building
products for users with a variety of experience levels from
regular PC users to experts the product information needs to
describe clearly what the users can do and how they can do it.
Plus, we now can provide users with the choice of buying a boxed
product or a software download. It's the ultimate in
convenience."
