"Ahsay Being Fully Brandable Makes All the Difference" Daniel Schrod (CEO)
With the highly competitive ISP and web hosting market in Germany, ITS AG had to quickly differentiate itself to stay away from cut-throat price wars. In 2004, Daniel Schrod, CEO of ITS AG, saw online backup as a value-added service to his web hosting customers which would enable him to differentiate the company from the competition. He evaluated various online backup engines from Google search, and eventually adopted Ahsay as the engine powering up his online backup service.
Daniel accurately predicted that online backup would be a killer service for his customers and it had the potential to be the key revenue driver for ITS AG. With the service rolled out for three years, ITS AG has successfully unlocked the online backup market potential in Germany.
Envisioning the boundless growth of the untapped data backup market, ITS AG has become Ahsay's Exclusive Distributor in Germany since 2007 with the aim to help more local businesses unleash the power of Ahsay in securing critical data.
In an interview with ITS AG at Ahsay's headquarters in Hong Kong, Daniel shared his market expansion strategy and explained his tactics on market differentiation with online data backup service. The following movie clips captured the key points of the interview which may bring insights to those are offering online backup service. He also shared about his anticipation on the private market as the next focus for all players.
