Anticipating the power of the emerging Internet, Joel Ronning launched Digital River in 1994 with a vision to use the Internet instead of the mail to deliver software. He knew Internet-based software delivery would be more efficient, more cost effective and more environmentally friendly. His intuition was right. Today, Digital River not only manages half of the digital downloads for the software market, but the company’s business has grown significantly – successfully expanding across global geographies and into complementary markets, including high tech manufacturing and consumer electronics. In 2007, Digital River expects to handle well over $2 billion in online transactions and ship digital and physical goods for more than 40,000 software publishers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers and affiliates worldwide.
When Digital River started in 1994, the company set out on a mission to become a leading provider of global e-commerce services. Today, Digital River is living its mission. The company is currently headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with offices and more than 1000 employees located across the United States, Europe and the Asia Pacific.
