Ashland, OR, August 5, 2010 - Vortx acquires AspDotNetStorefront.
Vortx, Inc., an e-commerce company based in Ashland Oregon, announced today that
it has completed the acquisition of AspDotNetStorefront.com, a division of Discovery
Productions, Inc. AspDotNetStorefront is a leading online shopping cart platform
used by more than 10,000 online retailers and 6,000 e-commerce developers and partners.
"To say we are pleased with the acquisition would be a massive understatement,"
says Dana Greaves, Vortx founder and CEO, "acquiring one of the leading .NET-based
e-commerce platforms enables us to more quickly bring our current products, like
our mobile commerce platform and dozens of other add-ons and service offerings to
online storeowners and the strategic partnerships we already serve. It's the perfect
marriage of synergies, and a natural step in our rather dramatic growth in recent
years."
Robert Anderson, President and CEO of Discovery Productions says "We have spent
more than 10 years and millions of dollars building one of the most respected platforms
in the business. Vortx has been one of our most successful partners and is very
well revered within the e-commerce community. I couldn't be happier with this fit."
Plans for the next six months include multi-store enhancements, mobile, search traffic,
conversion rates, backoffice integration features, and more. "This platform will
quickly become known for its community-based approach to providing expertise, code,
and a marketplace of plug-ins, all embraced by a blanket of high-quality service,"
said Jo Benson, COO at Vortx.
Vortx, in its existing role as Platinum Partner, has helped hundreds of AspDotNetStorefront
store-owners succeed online and is now poised to turn "hundreds-of-helped" into
tens of thousands. A blog has always been a key instrument of communication for
this west-coast company (see http://blog.vortx.com/) and from this week, the blog
at AspDotNetStorefront.com will also spring to life as a platform for announcements
and inventiveness.
