Phoenix Global Software secures distribution rights for Ulead titles in SA

Phoenix Global Software, one of the leading software re-publishing houses, is pleased to announce that it has successfully concluded negotiations for the rights to distribute the Ulead digital media software titles in SA.

Since late 2004, Phoenix Global has concentrated on consolidating its product portfolio and moving its operation base to London, UK. The company will still continue to be active in SA, Ireland and UK. Ulead is one of the manufacturers to sign a new agreement with Phoenix Global, which allows it to distribute the major titles in the Ulead product range in SA.

Simon Campbell-Young, CEO of Phoenix Global Software, said: "Over recent months, I have been focusing my attention on establishing a firm foothold in the UK. That process is now complete, and, as a result, I am delighted with the completion of negotiations that has led to the re-appointment of PGS as the distributor for the award-winning Ulead software in SA. I am looking forward to establishing Ulead as the software of first choice for end-users in the video-editing, DVD-authoring and photo-manipulation markets here in SA."

"We have come along way in the past few years building the Ulead brand and developing our mainstream retail business in Europe," stated Benjamin HP Chen, General Manager of Ulead Europe. "What Phoenix brings to the table is several years of experience in successfully marketing software to SA. We are extremely pleased to have them as a Ulead partner, and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship."

Phoenix Global Software will focus on promoting three popular titles in the Ulead range.
