SPA relationships:
Ronning is a member of the SPA Board of Directors. The SPA internet section (comprised of 300 companies) board includes Karl Hirsch, founder and executive vice president, Preview Systems Inc., and Freddy Tengberg, Buyonet Inc. Hirsh is the ESD committee chair.
Based on their standings among their peers, Ronning clearly has top billing, but Hirsch (Preview) and Tengberg (Buyonet) are players as well. Ronning is surely on top of his competitors actions abroad. I wonder when we'll here something about DRIV's London office?
BTW, EC-Direct, another ESD vendor also uses Preview's Ziplock:
ecdirect.com
EC-direct seems to be aligned tightly to Preview, includes the following summary on the EC page:
