Splashtop, a leading remote-access software firm, announced that it is strengthening its European Union (EU) presence to make it easier for enterprises and individuals in the region to productively and easily work from home, and deliver IT support remotely. Splashtop is launching an instance of its remote-access solution in a Germany-based cloud data center, with a local user database plus support for Euro currency.

“The COVID-19 pandemic is making working from home a new normal, while increasing demand for things like remote IT support and remote access to classroom computer labs,” said Mark Lee, CEO of Splashtop. “As a result, it’s more important than ever to reduce work-from-home and remote-support barriers. In addition to localizing the products in multiple languages, we realized that providing local Euro payment, meeting compliance and offering multilingual customer support and sales teams would allow more enterprises and individuals in the EU to benefit from our offerings.”

Splashtop’s Euro currency support will enable its EU customers to avoid currency exchange fluctuations. With Splashtop now having a local European data center and more local relay servers, EU users will enjoy improved performance of the Splashtop remote access software, through lower latency and frame rates higher than 40 frames per second (FPS). The new Germany-based data center also includes a local user database that provides enhanced support for Europe’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).
A Phased Approach to Global Expansion
In addition to its global headquarters in Silicon Valley, Splashtop has established its Asian presence and created a robust ecosystem to support the regulatory requirements for doing business in China, Japan and throughout Asia. Earlier this year, Splashtop opened its EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) headquarters in Amsterdam and appointed Alexander Draaijer as its General Manager for EMEA.
