📅 October 16, 2003 - E-commerce outsourcer Digital River, Inc.

"We have worked with thousands of companies, helping them launch their online businesses and carefully manage both sides of the e-commerce equation - operational efficiency and growth," said Joel Ronning, CEO of Digital River. "To have a successful online business, companies need to have a solid site that runs 24x7, providing both novice and savvy shoppers with a personalized, friendly and uncomplicated buying experience.
