CHICAGO ILLINOIS July 15th 2009 – The Swedish software company Roxen Internet Software’s North American office in Chicago established in the summer of 2009 will intensify its marketing efforts.
Based on the experience acquired the last ten months as well as a result of the economic situation for newspapers in US and Canada Roxen sees great potential for their cost effective editorial solution

presence and spend more time on both market expansion and customer support”.
