I have tried to do as much research as I could on Dropmysite, I do think this is one of the best acquisitions to date as its genuinely growing very fast, just google search and you will find how many partners and clients they have won just in 2015
anyways hope this helps, its just simple google searches from their website and other links.
EXM really needs this DD to go through other wise we are in trouble, I am confident though DD will be good and the deal will go ahead!
enjoy 
CEO Charif
Prior to joining the team, Charif held various positions in sales, marketing, operations and business development at Google and Dell. In the past two decades, he has worked, studied and lived in more than 10 cities around the Middle East, the USA and Asia Pacific. His last role was the head of business development for Google in Southeast Asia.
When Charif left google he was interviewed about the reason he left Google to run a start up business, have a read of this its really interesting (This was in 2013)
Ex-Google boss reveals reason of moving to a startup El Ansari takesover as CEO of DropmySite. Singapore Business Review recently caught up with ex-Google South East Asia Head of Business Development and current Head of EMEA for Dropmysite, Charif El Ansari. Dropmysite bills itself as Asia's
fastest growing startup for attracting 630,000 users within 50 days of launch,
faster than Twitter,
Pinterest and Fab.com.
1. What makes you excited about your new position? What caused you to move from Google to Dropmysite?
It is great to take the helm of a successful startup and then work with the team on moving it to the next level. it is a great challenge to have. I wanted to work in a smaller company in the internet space, where decisions get made much faster and the whole team is working closely together. By the time I left Google, there was about 30,000 Employees. Dropmysite fit the bill really nicely, plus I believed in the model and the value proposition from early on and was one of the earliest investors.
2. What will you do differently in this position? What changes are you planning for? Honing our existing products, ensuring ease of integration with partners and launching our Dropmymobile Beta (mobile phone backup app)
3. What three goals are you focused on? 1st, further improve the user experience for our three products (Dropmysite, Dropmyemail and the soon to be launched Dropmymobile). 2nd, increase engagement with partners and resellers. 3rd, focus on operational excellence.
4. What are your key business philosophies? - Focus on the user and the partners - Have a capable and committed team - Enjoy what you are doing
5. What previous positions prepared you for this one and how? Working and living in several countries in Asia definitely helps. Working at Google surely helped, but very importantly, learning the importance of setting audacious goals for whatever you doing was a great lesson I learned at Google.
Also Dell's execution - driven culture is something that I will always take with me. Lastly, working in various roles across various geographies made me a well rounded person fit for the current role
6. Anything else you'd like to add? I am glad to be back in Singapore, which is a second home to me, after being away for some time. I am also very glad to see a much healthier startup eco-system than a couple of years ag0

There are many more clients and blogs you can see for your self when you DYOR at
https://www.dropmysite.com/en/press
the largest and most needed part of dropmysite is the resellers sector, if I'm understanding it correctly Dropmysite wins partnerships with large businesses and sells them monthly packages which including certain feature and support, the business then sells this service to their individual customers for a fee, also making profit, so it becomes a win win for both dropmysite and there partner.
they already have existing partners and if you look at the monthly pricing it looks attractive.
