Aladdin lands in Portugal

by Stuart Wilson, Monday 2 June 2008

NASDAQ-quoted Aladdin Knowledge Systems has established a new office in Portugal as part of Aladdin Europe. Aladdin, an information security solutions provider specialising in authentication, software DRM and content security, has also purchased its long-term Portuguese distribution partner, Futurmatica.

Due to its 18-year long partnership with Futurmatica, Aladdin has retained all assets of the former distributor and is fully operational. The acquisition expands Aladdin’s presence throughout Europe and enables the company to provide more resources and support to its Portuguese AladdinHASP customers, and to significantly grow its Aladdin eToken and AladdineSafe presence through its existing channel partners.

"Aladdin’s commitment to creating a presence in Portugal confirms the importance of the Portuguese market in the larger European community," said Ludger Wilmer, general manager of Aladdin Europe.

"Through our new office, we are able to devote added resources, training and personnel from the greater Aladdin Europe entity to better serve our customers in Portugal. We are proud to add Portugal as a member of Aladdin’s growing European family," added Wilmer.

Aladdin Knowledge Systems’ software rights management products are used by software developers and publishers to protect intellectual property, increase revenues, and reduce losses from software piracy. Aladdin has offices in 13 countries, a worldwide network of channel partners, and has won numerous awards for innovation.
