NetNames launches in Germany
7 December 2005, Frankfurt
NetNames, the UK’s leading domain name specialist today announced the opening of its new German office in Frankfurt to protect major German, Austrian and Swiss brands from cyber-squatting and online brand damage. The German online economy is burgeoning – .de is the second most popular Internet suffix worldwide and the market is key to any organisation doing serious business online. NetNames will offer its Platinum Service to major German, Austrian and Swiss organisations through dedicated account managers in the region. Platinum Service is currently used by more than a third of the FTSE 100 companies and is available to any organisation with more than 50 domain names. A typical FTSE 100 size company will own in excess of 1,000 domain names, and NetNames Platinum Service enables them to outsource their management, improve the registration, renewal and payment processes, and safeguard online intellectual property. NetNames already has several major clients in the region who are currently serviced from the company’s London headquarters. The new office in Germany will target large national and multi-national companies based in D/A/CH across a wide range of sectors, including automotive, finance and pharmaceuticals. Rodger Armstrong, Sales and Marketing Director, NetNames commented, “The issue of online brand protection is critical for all major organisations. Germany’s .de domain is the second biggest in the world and companies in this region are at a high risk from cyber-squatters and from failing to keep a tab on their domain name portfolios. The imminent launch of .eu only increases the challenges brands will face in this region. We are already working with many major brands in the UK and now is the right time for us to expand our services into Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Germany is a strategic market for NetNames and Frankfurt is the best location to support our customers in the region. To lead the German operation, NetNames has appointed Bernd Beiser as Sales Manager for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Bernd has over 20 years experience in IT sales with companies including IBM, Digital and Alcatel. Bernd Beiser, Sales Manager for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, NetNames commented, “Through our Platinum Service, NetNames has unrivalled experience and ability in handling large domain name portfolios on a global basis. We will enable German, Austrian and Swiss brands to ensure crucial domain name renewals are not missed and that they can quickly identify potential infringements to their valuable online brands.
