TORONTO, Nov. 30, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- PlateSpin expands its market reach in the U.S. while extending its reach across Europe, Middle-East, and Africa by placing additional people in the United States, and opening an office in the United Kingdom. PlateSpin has also augmented its channel sales force significantly to handle the rising demand for PlateSpin's automated physical-to-virtual conversion solution, PowerP2V, launched in June of 2004. The new channel sales staff, based in London, U.K. and Dallas, Texas will enhance PlateSpin's ability to fulfill demand for PowerP2V and future products and also enhance PlateSpin's ability to interact and improve efficiency with its large value-added reseller, systems integrator, partner, and alliance network.
