I never thought that Digital River is this big until Mr. Brent Mori gave his presentation at the eMarketing class last tuesday. My opinion is Digital River has no competitor who offers the breadth of products they can provide their clients. They provide all solutions for e-Commerce merchants and bring expertise to major world clients.
