Absolute Software Establishes European Operations to Better Serve Growing International Customer Base
International Recoveries of Stolen Laptops Demonstrate Global Success of Computrace Theft Recovery Solution
VANCOUVER, Canada, November 22/PRNewswire/ -- Absolute® Software Corporation ("Absolute") (TSX: ABT), the leading provider of patented, firmware-based, Computer Theft Recovery, Data Protection and Secure Asset Tracking(TM) solutions, announced today it has expanded its international operations by opening an office in Reading, UK.
Absolute has recently recovered stolen laptop computers in the UK, Norway, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Russia, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Israel.
"The growth of our international customer base has required us to establish a larger presence on the ground in EMEA," said John Livingston, chairman and CEO of Absolute Software. "This new office will help serve our existing consumer and corporate clients and better tap the revenue potential available in the international market."
Livingston continued, "Recovering laptops outside of North America further demonstrates that our Computrace solution transcends geographic boundaries, and validates the abilities of our theft recovery team to work cooperatively with authorities in various international jurisdictions."
When a Computrace-equipped computer is reported stolen, the embedded Computrace agent sends a silent signal to Absolute's Monitoring Center providing critical location information. Absolute then works with local law enforcement to recover the computer. The stealthy Computrace software agent can survive accidental or deliberate attempts to be removed or disabled.
Absolute Software's international operations are based in Reading, UK.
The organization provides full sales, technical support and theft recovery functions. Contact information for Absolute Software's European office is as
