"Ahsay Being Fully Brandable Makes All the Difference" Daniel Schrod, CEO of ITS AG. With Germany's highly competitive ISP and web hosting market, ITS AG had to differentiate itself quickly to avoid cutthroat price wars. In 2004, Daniel Schrod saw online backup as a value-added service for his web hosting customers, which enabled 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 that it had the potential to be ITS AG's key revenue driver. With the service rolled out for three years, ITS AG has successfully unlocked Germany's online backup market potential.
Envisioning the boundless growth of the untapped data backup market, ITS AG has become Ahsay's exclusive distributor in Germany since 2007 to help more local businesses unleash Ahsay's power 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 for market differentiation with online data backup services. The following movie clips capture the key points of the interview, which may bring insights to those offering online backup services. He also shared his anticipation of the private market as the next focus for all players.
