SwiftCD
to provide complete logistics, warehousing and on-demand manufacturing and
worldwide fulfillment for asknet’s clients
ATLANTA, GA -- February 9, 2005 -- Germany-based asknet, a
leading provider of outsourced electronic software sales and distribution
services (ESD), has selected SwiftCD as its worldwide manufacturing and
fulfillment partner. It’s one more key expansion for SwiftCD, which
empowers businesses worldwide with the ability to deliver their products via
CD/DVD to their customers. This latest agreement means that SwiftCD –
already asknet’s North American partner – will now also handle asknet’s
global CD/DVD manufacturing and shipping. Additionally, SwiftCD will
provide logistics, fulfillment, and warehousing services for asknet’s clients.
“We’re thrilled that asknet has expanded our North American
service to a global manufacturing and fulfillment solution,” comments Jason
Foodman, Chief Executive Officer of DigitalSwift Corporation (parent company of
SwiftCD.com).
“With several high-profile successes in the news, including a
recent agreement with British-based Softwrap Limited, asknet has continued its
rapid growth trend within both the North American and global markets. The
support that SwiftCD brings to us is a key factor in our success,” comments
Vinh Luong, asknet’s VP of Business Development. “Thanks to
SwiftCD, we can continue that expansion by offering our clients a service
complete with a worldwide physical delivery solution. SwiftCD enabled us
to do this with speed, ease and extreme efficiency.”
asknet will transition its entire existing in-house Backup CD
program to the more powerful SwiftCD solution. Because of the tight
integration with SwiftCD, the transition process will be seamless and invisible
to asknet’s clients.
