<<Digital River sets up in Europe
Yarlott to run ESD mob
Posted July 10, 1998
Our old friend and (for one of us) former boss Ian Yarlott has tipped up at electronic software distribution vendor Digital River, where he will run from London the company's new European operations.
Once upon a time, Yarlott was a computer magazine publisher. But he soon saw the errors of his ways and signed up instead for the software industry. He ended up as the managing director for Intuit's Northern European operations - a much better earner than silly old magazines - but think how much more remunerative it would have been if the silly old FTC hadn't put the kybosh on Microsoft's takeover of Intuit a few years back.
Digital River should be a better bet. It's in ecommerce -always hot- and unlike most - it has real live customers.
The Minneapolis-based company claims to offer the world's biggest online database of software products, providing more than 1,300 software publishers and online dealers with its proprietary technology for Internet delivery of more than 100,000 software and other digital products.
Digital River has set up stall in Europe to take advantage of interest throughout the continent in purchasing, selling and electronically distributing software over the Internet. According to Digital River, there are more than 3,500 software publishers "and a significant number of resellers" in Europe which could be interested in the company's technology.
Digital River supplies a turnkey software e-commerce solution that "eliminates the need for investment, providing an easy, no-risk way to begin selling software online".
Tech Squared controls 23 percent and Fujitsu Limited of Japan owns 16 percent of Digital River's common stock.
Digital River European office is located at Centre 500, 500 Chiswick High Road, London, UK, W45R9. The main telephone number is 0181 956 2311.
