Subtitle: Worldwide leader in hard disk drives and storage solutions signs asknet to manage eCommerce portal and digital rights.

Karlsruhe, San Francisco (euro adhoc) - May 17, 2011 - asknet, a leading provider of global eCommerce solutions that increase sales and expand markets for software and digital media companies, is partnering with Seagate to develop a secure, integrated, and scalable global eCommerce service for Seagate distribution channel customers. asknet will manage eCommerce activities and digital rights for Seagate® Rescue | Restore™ software, the Seagate system recovery solution that makes it simpler and more cost-effective for small businesses, VARs, system builders and IT managers to service hard drives corrupted by viruses and other intrusions.

"Seagate customers wanted a powerful, fast and simple solution for hard drive recovery and restoration, so we needed the expertise and flexible platform to deliver Rescue | Restore™ software," said David Looney, Executive Director of Market Development at Seagate. "asknet answered the challenge with its platform technology, localization capabilities and the ability to deploy Rescue | Restore™ software globally on our demanding timeline."

Rescue | Restore software can restore a corrupted hard drive to factory fresh settings in as little as 10 minutes. The Seagate software helps reduce field support costs, increase customer satisfaction and deliver incremental revenue streams for Seagate customers.

Seagate´s new Rescue | Restore online portal offers customers a set of five licenses at no charge for evaluation purposes. Additional licenses are priced by bundle size, ranging from 10 to 10,000 licenses for larger companies. asknet is responsible for Rescue | Restore license management and the activation gateway to support digital rights management, online purchases, regionally optimized payment methods and currencies, order confirmations and order management. Seagate expects to offer additional products targeted at the reseller market through the asknet online portal in the near future.

"We are very excited to be working with Seagate, the no. 1 manufacturer of hard drives and storage solutions," said Mark Begin, President of asknet Inc. "We are honored to be chosen as the solution able to meet the demanding requirements of this strategic program. It highlights one of asknet´s core strengths of providing a flexible, open framework and business model to meet the unique needs of global eCommerce, where others offer only static one-size-fits-all approaches."
