"There's no doubt people want to buy software" says Silvera, "but the marketplace has changed dramatically with customers having little choice where to buy. The catalogue stores have all but disappeared and unless you buy direct, and download, versions are thin on the ground."

Downloadbuyer  however, is opening its internet doors to compete with the other software sites for public and businesses buying, positioning itself as a new destination store for software with a large catalogue of well known software titles, from leading brands for both PC and Mac, all under one Url roof and all in downloadable format.

Titles include those from Magix, ZoneAlarm, Net Nanny, Sun Microsystems, Datawatch, Avanquest, IMSI, Fast Reports, Kinemac, Inertia, Mariner, ABBYY, F-Secure and others.

Downloadable applications are always in stock, and claimed as generally cheaper than boxed counterparts, typically delivered to your desktop in a few minutes.

Businesses will appreciate the lack of complexity when ordering multi-user licenses. No more update buttons, change a quantity and prices all update in real-time with no mouse clicks. Also save orders and export PDF quotes.

Visitors can find ratings, comments, in-depth information, visuals, case studies and white papers and even a product sourcing service.

"Downloadbuyer.com is about choice, convenience and value" says Silvera, "but more than this, it's also about interaction, communication & gratification."
