It’s Alive

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

As a result of much hard work, we’ve seen a number of Clients go live in the past few weeks. I’d like to highlight just  a few of these diverse businesses that recently launched on CashBox:

Major League Gaming:  The largest professional video game playing league in the world, Major League Gaming serves 40 million consumers in North America.  Consumers can now purchase passes to various Pro Circuit events as well as MLG Credits to use online. All transactions are powered by CashBox.

Next Issue Media:  The joint venture product of five of the best known publishers in the business, Next Issue Media just released the preview version of their digital storefront on the Android platform, with magazines such as Fortune, TIME, Popular Mechanics, The New Yorker and others available for purchase as subscriptions or single-issue purchases.

Ultimate Guitar:  Ultimate Guitar just launched a premium service that both provides an ad-free environment as well as access to the tabs to all your favorite songs and backing tracks that help you learn a song quickly.

Much kudos goes out to our Client Services team, which does remarkable work, widely under the radar. Beyond assisting these clients with their CashBox implementations, our team spends a lot of time with Clients, sharing best practices, discussing business model trade-offs, and helping them maximize the value of their online services.

We’ve only just begun to scratch the surface of this digital explosion in consumer services, and we will continue to share additional interesting stories about digital leaders launching new services that leverage the power of our CashBox SaaS billing and marketing solutions.
