Digital River Expands Its Global Partner Network with New Strategic Alliances
Digital River (News - Alert), Inc. (NASDAQ: DRIV),
a leading global provider of Commerce-as-a-Service solutions, announced
it has entered into new strategic alliance partnership agreements with
Rauxa, Inc., an independent, full-service marketing agency, and Slalom
Consulting, a business and technology consulting firm. Through these
partnerships, Digital River is extending the value of its SaaS (News - Alert)-based
commerce solution, making it easier for clients to add specialized,
third-party consulting services and complementary web content management
(WCM) system technologies.
"By continuing to build a strong network of preferred commerce service
provider partners, we can offer our clients access to additional sources
of expert services as well as pre-built integrations into best-in-class
applications that extend and enhance the capabilities of their online
stores," said Thomas Peterson, executive vice president and general
manager of commerce at Digital River. "Our goal is to help our clients
reduce the time and costs typically associated with custom integrations
while driving world-class online experiences that are localized for
shoppers around the world."
As part of Digital
River's Global Partner Network, Rauxa and Slalom Consulting will
combine the power of Digital River's enterprise commerce platform with
complementary business services and technology capabilities. Rauxa will
facilitate pre-built integrations between Digital River's platform and
leading third-party WCM technologies. Slalom Consulting will provide
implementations and integrations that extend Digital River's platform,
including its commerce business infrastructure (CBI), to companies
expanding their commerce operations into new geographies. Digital
River's CBI manages and takes on the risk of multi-national taxation,
global payments, export controls, and other regulatory compliance
requirements.
"Working with Digital River, we can connect companies with one of the
world's top global commerce solutions and some of the most sophisticated
shopper experiences available on the market today," said Gage Short,
vice president of technology and alliances from Rauxa.
"We are looking forward to combining our strategy and implementation
services wih Digital River's CBI and the other global aspects of its
platform. Together, we will help companies create custom commerce
solutions that strengthen and expand their brands across geographies
worldwide," said Gilbert Wong, digital strategy and commerce national
practice director of Slalom Consulting.

access to services from leading, enterprise-class commerce service
providers that focus on areas such as system integrations, agency
services, logistics, marketplace and app exchanges, and business
