Avangate, the agile eCommerce service provider trusted by thousands of software and SaaS companies to grow their businesses worldwide through any channel and any model, today announced its participation at Affiliate Summit West 2013. Avangate affiliate experts will be on-site to provide in-depth information on how to optimize affiliate programs based on their expertise in helping software and SaaS vendors sell in global markets through the Avangate Affiliate Network.

"The growth in affiliate marketing programs and budgets over the last year reflects the rapid transformation happening in the software industry," said Michael Ni, CMO/SVP, Marketing and Products, Avangate. "As more and more software businesses enter the marketplace, they are increasingly looking to affiliate programs to ensure global sales without the heavy resource demands and marketing costs that building in-house programs and operations require. We are looking forward to the expanded opportunities we can create not only for software vendors, but also for the affiliates who support them."

"Our success with Avangate as one of their Power Affiliates is a reflection of their deep understanding of affiliate marketing’s ever-increasing impact on global sales. Having developed a highly successful partnership and participated with Avangate at other Affiliate Summit events, we know that both vendor and affiliate attendees of this year’s Western edition will receive great insights into improving their affiliate channels,” said Lucian Todea, Founder and CEO, Soft32.
