asknet presents future growth regions for software publishers and their distinctive local features at the ESCW 2009 in Berlin.

Karlsruhe, October 30, 2009 -- asknet AG, a leading provider of outsourcing solutions for the global electronic software distribution (ESD) industry, is a premium sponsor of the European Software Conference 2009, which will be held in the Kempinski Hotel Bristol in Berlin on November 7-8, 2009. Aston Fallen, President of asknet Inc., will give a presentation entitled "Global reach and emerging markets – eCommerce in North America and Europe versus Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.“ He will discuss future growth regions for software publishers such as Brazil, Russia, India, China, and Japan, as well as special characteristics of the local markets that must be taken into account in order to successfully enter these markets and distribute software online.

asknet offers online shops in more than 31 languages that support 38 different currencies and 24 different payment methods – which means its clients already have access to all important growth and emerging markets in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. The company also has a subsidiary in Japan, the most important Asian sub-market. This allows asknet to offer software publishers a comprehensive range of services to facilitate their successful entry into the Japanese market, for example eMarketing.

The motto of the EWSC is “Open all senses!”, and its agenda is to blend Web, mobile, and desktop into one world of software. One highlight will be a series of first-class lectures by notable software publishers. The current mayor of Berlin, Klaus Wowereit, will hold an address of welcome.
