SAN FRANCISCO, April 21/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- asknet Inc. (Frankfurt: A5A) leading in global eCommerce,
announced today that Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH has chosen asknet
solution to run its online channel of distribution.

Starting with the German market, asknet is the underlying
solution behind the Steinberg electronic shop for musicians and artists

engine implementing all of the electronic shop functions. In addition, a
fully customizable shop technology solution ensures that Steinberg benefits
from a constant up-to-date online shop and delivers a great customer
experience for each visitor.

"Steinberg had a very narrow window for implementing an online
channel. We needed rapid deployment and quick understanding of our needs to
be up-and-running. asknet delivered their solution within the required
timeframe and met all of our expectations for the Go-Live" said Daniel
Roeper, eCommerce Coordinator at Steinberg.

"The asknet project-team was outstanding in supporting us and
working in close collaboration with our team. We felt we did not choose just
a vendor but instead a partner working closely with us to deliver an
outstanding solution" said Roeper.

"Steinberg was looking for an eCommerce partner for their
digital distribution that had expertise in the entire European market. With
over a decade of industry experience and online distribution, we easily meet
that requirement" said Bob Lamvik, President of asknet, Inc. "Today, no one
can ignore online distribution and businesses have to be prepared for
expansion. eSales are a very important component of today's growth
strategy."
