C-SAM Builds on Global Momentum; Opens European Office

- Increases Support for Growing Customer Base in Europe, Middle East and Africa

CHICAGO, April 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- C-SAM, a pioneer in secure mobile transactions technology offering a range of mobile phone-based solutions for financial as well as non-financial services, today announced its incorporation and expansion into Europe, Middle East and Africa. Further demonstrating commitment to the EMEA market and rising business demands in the region, the company has established a legal entity and office in Europe located in Graz, Austria.

"C-SAM has experienced tremendous success in North America and Asia and is now extending that success to the EMEA market," said Holger Kunkat, general manager, Americas and EMEA, at C-SAM. "As such, it is critical we provide support for our increasing customer base by offering customer service and system maintenance teams in their native languages and time zones." 

C-SAM's EMEA office is headed by Martin Buhrlen, director of IP strategy and analytics at C-SAM. C-SAM plans to begin hiring and relocating employees to the C-SAM office over the course of the next several months.

"Selecting Austria as our EMEA location was an easy decision for us, not only because of its centrality and access to C-SAM customers in the European and entire EMEA region, but also because of the strong talent pool and high level of technical expertise in the country," said Buhrlen.

C-SAM will be attending and speaking at Internet World April 23-25, 2013 in London. In a presentation, "One Wallet, or 100? Near Future of Wallets, Apps & Customer Relationships," Buhrlen will discuss how to stimulate mobile payments and how mobile wallets can enhance customer experiences.
