Soft Xpansion, a company that offers PDF developer tools, standard software and DMS & ECM solutions, celebrates its 25th anniversary.

Bochum, Germany., March 6, 2020 -- This year, soft Xpansion celebrates its 25th anniversary. The company was founded as Maus Software in 1995 in Bochum, Germany. It is still lead by its founders Dr. Juri Stern (Managing Partner) and Michael Kobets (Technical Director). More than 60 permanent employees plus additional freelancers create software for the global market - a PDF SDK for developers, standard applications for end users and individual DMS and ECM solutions for companies. The soft Xpansion group has locations in Bochum, Prague and Vinnitsa (Ukraine).

The PDF Xpansion SDK offers a wide range of modules that allow software developers to implement functionality to create, display and edit PDFs or other digital files directly in their own applications. This also includes features for electronic invoicing (formats ZUGFeRD, FACTUR-X, XRechnung), which gets more and more widespread these days. The SDK is sold through direct sales and by partners like componentsource.com and zoschke.com. The Perfect PDF product family of standard applications, created with that SDK, is distributed by partners through retail chain outlets, online shops and in the Microsoft Store. All individual software projects are tailored to the specific clientsŽ requirements and wishes. soft Xpansion develops them on the platforms OpenText Documentum, Office 365, SharePoint, K2 and Alfresco.

SUCCESS STORIES SDK, STANDARD SOFTWARE AND INDIVIDUAL SOLUTIONS Companies like Amadeus IT Group, DocuWare, HUK Coburg Insurance Group, IQDoQ, Opentext Corporation, STAPRO, ThyssenKrupp and XOS Digital are among the clients of the PDF Xpansion SDK. Individual DMS and ECM solutions have been implemented successfully in more than 100 projects for example for ArcelorMittal, E.ON, Ford, ING Bank, ProCredit Bank Georgian Republic, and a large number of government agencies in the Ukraine. The Perfect PDF standard software, currently available as version 10, is sold globally as well.

SOFT XPANSION GROUP OF COMPANIES IN BOCHUM, PRAGUE & VINNITSA Executive management, the director of the development department and Central European marketing are still situated in Bochum. A few years ago, additional specialized developer teams were merged in a second company (soft Xpansion Ukraine LLC). This company was originally established in Donezk (a Bochum partner city), but had to move west to Vinnitsa in 1994 in order to be safe from the Ukrainian war. The year 2017 then saw the creation of a third company, soft Xpansion Professional Services s.r.o. in Prague. This company is focused on the development and marketing of DMS and ECM solutions for East European markets.

DIVERSIFICATION AND SPECIALIZATION AS SUCCESS FACTORS NO CONTRADICTION Dr. Juri Stern: The IT sector is highly competitive and fast moving, thus a company has to be different in a positive way to be successful. For soft Xpansion, the strategic difference lies in the decision to base its business model on three solid pillars: firstly the PDF tools for software developers, secondly the PDF standard software, and thirdly the DMS and ECM solutions tailored to the customersŽ needs. These solutions benefit from the PDF expertise we acquire in the two other segments: for example, our know-how enables us to use own proven modules in individual features for long-term archiving and for electronic invoicing. Moreover, for digital/digitized documents in general or for eGovernment projects more particularly, we offer a wide range of solutions as well.

About soft Xpansion:
Since its foundation in 1995, soft Xpansion is a specialized software manufacturer with global activities. The product range includes solutions (powerful standard desktop software and apps, innovative software development kits, and flexible, individual programming) in the core areas PDF technology, content/document management and tools. The company looks back on more than 20 years of experience in the IT sector. The software development expertise covers all steps for standard applications and for individual projects - market and requirement analysis, conceptual design, development, implementation, support and advancements. The clients come from all over the world. soft Xpansion is headquartered in Bochum, Germany.

Regional Express, part of Xpediator PLC, is pleased to announce its new online service offering joint UK and Germany VAT registration and tax filing for Amazon Sellers.

Southampton, UK, March 5, 2020 -- Regional Express, part of Xpediator PLC (AIM:XPD), is pleased to announce its new online service offering joint UK and Germany VAT registration and tax filing for Amazon Sellers, saving sellers’ time with being able to complete one online form for both countries.

Regional Express is a Service Provider (SPN) for Amazon Global Selling and provides VAT registration and tax filing services for Amazon sellers in the U.S. along with freight forwarding, warehousing & fulfilment, Amazon buffer storage and returns.

Once the UK VAT number is received, Regional Express can ship both the UK & DE stock to the UK and hold the DE inventory in the UK for quick onward movement to Germany.

Regional Express will be able to clear the shipment through UK customs using the seller’s UK VAT/EORI numbers. Regional Express can then deliver the UK shipment to Amazon as normal and then, as the UK VAT number is often received quicker than the German equivalent, hold the German stock in the Regional Express warehouse until the DE VAT number is received. Once the DE VAT number is received and the seller’s Amazon DE account live, Regional Express can label and send to Germany within 48 hours.

This means that sellers will be able to have their products on the Amazon shelves in the UK and Germany much quicker than normal.

Managing Director, Neil Curran, says “We are really pleased to be able to offer U.S. sellers this simple way to sell on both Amazon UK and Amazon Germany. It will be time saving and cost effective for sellers and we will help them through the entire process. As a business we are focused on continually innovating our service offering to meet evolving customer requirements, adding this new service demonstrates once again this commitment.

At least one person was killed and several others injured when clashes erupted between protesters from the tribe of Oulad Tidrarine and the armed militia of the Algerian backed separatist group, the polisario.

Berlin, Germany., March 5, 2020 -- At least one person was killed and several others injured when clashes erupted between protesters from the tribe of Oulad Tidrarine and the armed militia of the Algerian backed separatist group, the polisario.

The protesters were joined by foreigners participating at the “Sahara marathon” in the Tindouf camps. The protest was against the polisario leaders’ connivance and involvement in the escape of the assassins of a member of the Oulad Tidrarine tribe, Oulda Ould Boukhari Bamba. The family of the victim accuses the Polisario leaders of having organized and facilitated the escape of the killers.

Some 200 protesters, mostly from Oulad Tidrarine tribe, have been demanding, since last week, the opening of an independent investigation into certain senior executives of the Polisario leadership. According to the family of the victim, Iddih Ould Mohamed Lagdhaf and Didi Ould Othman Bamba responsible for the murder were allowed to escape by the authorities. The angry stone-throwing demonstrators violently clashed with the militia which led to the death of at least one person, according to reports coming out of the refugee camps.

The polisario routinely violates the human rights of tens of thousands of Sahrawi refugees who have remained trapped in desperate conditions in the camps near Tindouf, Algeria for over four decades. In the camps, there is no freedom of speech or movement or basic rights, the right to education or health or right of movement. Meanwhile, the leaders of the polisario and their families are allowed to travel abroad for education, hospitalisation and holidays. This is possible because of the diversion of humanitarian aid destined for the refugees.

Friends of Morocco is a non profit organization with branches around the world. The main objective is to promote Morocco and its causes as well as to build bridges and connect people who have fallen in Love with this country, adopted its culture and traditions and made it their 2nd home.

The tellows platform for reverse phone lookup and customer protection against spam calls and frauds, decided to offer a new service for the companies with trustful profiles. In fact, companies that do not act aggressively when promoting their services, probably deserve a higher visibility.

In current times online listing directories are among the cheapest, fastest and easiest ways to make a company findable by its potential clients, and being visible online is extremely important, also in a competitive view. With this new feature, customers can count on additional information provided by firms, while entrepreneurs can see the feedback and the recommendations of their clients, which can help companies to improve their services and consequently to rank better. Being present in online listing directories is also important to be locatable in search engines, and due to the connection between the platform and the application provided by tellows, consumers with tellows Android app will see the company’s name and address when it calls them.

Creating and editing a business entry is free and it can be updated at any time. The way to insert it begins with searching the phone number you want to associate with your company on tellows website (by typing the number on the searching bar). Then, in the new window that will show up, we only have to click on the pencil-symbol or the “Business Entry” line to start adding the information we want our customer to know.
This information includes the name and the address of the company and other details like the opening hours or the way to obtain an appointment.
