Company Information
- Newly created position of strategic
importance - Emphasis on expanding services to leverage additional 
business opportunities
Karlsruhe, Germany, December 16, 2010 -- asknet, a leading provider 
of global eCommerce solutions for software vendors, has appointed 
Christof Stuhlmann, an eCommerce expert with extensive experience, as
new Vice President of Sales & Marketing for the EMEA and APAC 
regions. This new position was created in the context of asknet´s 
strategy of continually expanding its portfolio of products and 
services to encompass additional business opportunities. For example,
asknet has leveraged its technological and industry expertise to 
integrate previously non-digital distribution channels into its 
online shops. In asknet´s last quarterly report, the company had 
already announced its intention of systematically moving in this 
direction. In keeping with this strategy, company CEO Michael Scheib 
calls the decision to hire Christof Stuhlmann "the right step going 
forward as we expand and grow asknet AG."
Before joining asknet, Christof Stuhlmann had held an executive 
position at software vendor Nuance Communications since 1999; his 
area of focus was the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) region. 
Now he is looking forward to the interesting opportunities offered by
his new position. "asknet AG is one of the leading suppliers of 
eCommerce solutions for providers of digital content. Of course most 
of these vendors already sell their products online, but the market 
potential of this distribution channel is still far from being 
exhausted. This is an area where vendors could profit much more than 
they already do." One example named by Stuhlmann was the inclusion of
a reseller sales channel in the online shop of Norwegian software 
vendor NORMAN ASA, which has numbered among asknet´s clients since 
October 2010.  Integrating a previously non-digital distribution 
channel into the eShop greatly simplifies the software vendor´s 
transactions with retailers.  Such new as well as existing services 
are made possible by asknet's vast technological expertise.  "asknet 
AG´s technological know-how is highly impressive, and the company is 
building on this knowledge to expand our existing business," says 
Stuhlmann. "At the same time, it allows us to come up with exciting 
new solutions, for example Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) for 
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers.
According to asknet, Christof Stuhlmann´s extensive experience with 
software vendors, his network of contacts, and his international 
focus made him the perfect choice for the new position. His 
responsibilities will include the expansion of the company´s 
eDistribution business and the evaluation of new business segments.
