Karlsruhe (euro adhoc) - March 20, 2012 - asknet AG today announced its newest
international client, CyberLink Corp., a global player and pioneer in enabling

payment and delivery services for its products sold online including the series
of prize-winning applications for the playback, creation and distribution of
digital media content.
CyberLink CEO Alice Chang explained that the decision to incorporate the asknet
platform was based on the company´s unique set of credentials and unmatched
partnership approach. "In addition to its outstanding track-record in global
eCommerce, asknet won us over with the flexibility of its software architecture
and client-tailored adaptations."
asknet will fulfill orders, deliveries and payment processes for CyberLink
products purchased online, including the well-known software PowerDVD and
