FastSpring Selects SwiftCD to Power Worldwide On-Demand Backup CD Solution

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 10, 2007

FastSpring.com, offering a next-generation solution for the ESD market, today announces that it has selected SwiftCD to power the internal FastSpring Backup CD solution. The service will be seamless for FastSpring vendors and allow consumers to have a backup on physical media delivered when any digital product is purchased via FastSpring.

"FastSpring is addressing the needs of software vendors which have gone unmet for far too long in critical areas such as customer service, price vs. value, innovation, and flexibility. As we introduce key capabilities to FastSpring clients, we select partners who are market leaders through their superior technology and with whom we share industry values. SwiftCD is the clear choice in that regard", said Dan Engel, Chief Executive Officer of FastSpring, who left Google® to help build FastSpring. "The SwiftCD solution gave us a wide range of products and services combined with unparalleled reliability and world-class service. All of our initial requirements were easily satisfied, and SwiftCD has numerous other capabilities we plan to take advantage of as we continue to expand."

Using the SwiftCD solution behind the scenes, FastSpring vendors can opt to have their products offered in the cart with a Backup CD. Since CDs are made on-demand, there are no setup fees, no "lead times" and there is no inventory. FastSpring's clients retain a substantial portion of the revenue earned by offering CDs to their end users, a larger portion than is typically available through other ESD providers.

"FastSpring has introduced a truly next-generation solution, both in terms of their technological capabilities and their set of values related to what software vendors deserve versus what they have been offered to date. FastSpring's founding team is comprised of industry all-stars who co-founded and built RegNow® and RegSoft® from scratch, who understand the software vendor experience and the problems with existing solutions. The FastSpring founders were leaders in the legacy era of software e-commerce and are now setting the new standard with the next generation FastSpring system. We are thrilled to be a major part of this evolution for the industry and to have our solution completely embedded within their systems infrastructure", said Jason Foodman, Chief Executive Officer of SwiftCD.
