09-07-2001 -- Portland, OR –
Red Queen Software, Inc. announced today that they
have signed a contract with Element 5 Inc., (Element
5 AG, Koln, Germany) to provide EDS (Electronic
Software Delivery) of their software products on a
world-wide basis via the Internet. This agreement
gives Element 5 nonexclusive rights to deliver Red
Queen’s software electronically and to represent
Red Queen Software’s interest in the eCommerce
distribution channel.
"Element 5 offers us (Red Queen Software,
Inc.) the type of professional distribution
capabilities that we need to make our products
available to our extensive market". Said Jeffrey
Garchow, CEO. "Since our product can be used by
almost anyone, we needed more influence in the world
market place and with Element 5 we now have it."
Element 5 will distribute Red Queen’s
software through their established partner eStore
channels in other countries and through their own
eStore here in the United States. "Not only will
we be immediately represented by established eStores
world-wide, but it will allow us to create and open
other eDistribution channels not traditionally used
by software companies." Said Garchow. He says
that opening new channels is important for Red
Queen’s development, since conventional software
distribution is heavily influenced and controlled by
only a handful of distributors.
Element 5 offers the end user a complete package
during the delivery process. Because of their
multinational facilities and staff, Element 5 is
programmed to deal with various types of currency
transactions and transaction methods i.e. bank wire
transfers, electronic checks, corporate PO’s,
etc. And, can provide technical assistance and
support by telephone or email in several different
languages. (www.element5.com)
Red Queen Software’s new Internet
distribution method from Element 5 should be in
service by October 1, 2001.
