MINNEAPOLIS, November 21, 2000Digital River, Inc. (NASDAQ:
DRIV), the world's largest Commerce Service Provider (CSP), today
announced it was recognized and included by Interactive Week
and VARBusiness in two leading industry listings. Digital River
was ranked number 97 on Interactive Week's annual Interactive
500, which ranks companies by the amount of revenue they generate
from Web operations. The company also was included on VARBusiness'
E 100 + 25 list, which consists of the 125 biggest North American
Solution Providers focused on e-business.
"Being included on these two lists is another indicator
of Digital River's continued growth and success in serving
the e-commerce marketplace," said Perry Steiner, Digital
River's president. "At Digital River, we are focused on
our clients' profitability-that is on helping our clients accomplish
their online revenue objectives. When our clients are successful,
we are successful. This strategy along with our world class
technology and e-services has served us well and continues
to win us industry recognition."
"Companies listed on the VARBusiness E 100 + 25 have
made a profound impact on the entire technology industry and
the overall economy due to the strategic decisions they make,
the technologies they select, and the recommendations they
make for their customers," said Michael Uliss, publisher
VARBusiness. "They are the architects of the new economy."
Interactive Week's editor John McCormick, who spearheaded
the Interactive 500 project, notes that while the final results
of the ranking reflect dynamic growth in the new online economy,
much of the growth is being driven by the increasing presence
of already established, old economy brick-and-mortars. "No
longer are dot-coms with big plans, and even bigger losses,
driving the market. Now it's the more traditional firms - the
established retailers, manufactures and services firms - fueling
the engines of the Internet business machine," said McCormick.
