It's hard to tell the rhetoric from the real news. They have an international Channel Sales Manager:
STERLING, Va. – (PR NEWSWIRE) – April 15, 2010 – IceWEB, Inc.™ (OTCBB: IWEB),www.IceWEB.com, a leading provider of Unified Data Storage and building blocks for cloud storage networks, announced that the Company has attracted potential channel partners that meet the demanding criteria to become an IceWEB Channel Partner (ICP) in Europe and Japan. John R. Signorello, IceWEB CEO, stated, “International barriers to the exploitation of technology do not exist any longer. We operate in a global eco-system and our products should be global. Expansion of our reach into international markets is a logical next step. We looked at it from a cost perspective, an engineering perspective and, most importantly, can we compete successfully. If we can win business in and ship to Alaska and California, then we can win business and ship to England, Germany and Japan.” “To be successful internationally,” Mr. Signorello added, “it is essential to have a world-class representative who knows the territory and has the experience to handle that channel. I am pleased we were able to bring in Mr. Bernard C. Girma as our first International Channel Sales Manager. His vast experience working in Europe and Japan will be invaluable in establishing IceWEB as the ‘go to’
company for unified cloud storage solutions.”
And he apparently helped them sell at least one unit in Germany:
STERLING, Va. – (PR NEWSWIRE) – May 11, 2010 – IceWEB™, Inc. (OTCBB: IWEB), www.IceWEB.com, a leading provider of Unified Data Storage and building blocks for cloud storage networks, announced today that the Company has received an initial multi-terabyte data storage order from an IceWEB International Channel Partner. This order represents the first IceWEB digital footprint in the European Union. Bernard Girma, IceWEB International Channel Manager stated, “Germany, with the largest GDP in the European Union, is a key entry point for IceWEB. We are looking forward to a rapid expansion in the EU market after this initial success.”
“This is really exciting to see our products being accepted abroad. It is the start of our International footprint in the channel and something to build momentum from. Our international partner was able to deliver a turnkey solution that met the stringent imagery demands of the German Company,” stated John R. Signorello, CEO of IceWEB. “The first order is always the toughest. Once the end customer receives the product, and is pleased with the price and performance, adding to the platform is easy.”
Beyond that, and a unit sold to support the Vancouver Oympics, their international presence is pretty close to nil.
