Digital e-commerce leader leverages years of experience managing the subscription of millions of digital PC software and video game customers to create new dedicated practice within the Nexway Global Services team.  

Nexway, a leading provider of global managed e-commerce solutions for publishers and retailers of digital products, announces the creation of a global team of service professionals dedicated to supporting the company's clients in their shift to subscription revenue models.
