Keeping your clients informed |
|
Using SoftCD your reference CD-ROM need never be out of date again:
 |
Any information can be distributed on
CD-ROM with SoftCD: financial, insurance, commercial, scientific or medical data. |
 |
SoftCD is compatible with any Windows
application you use to present your information. |
 |
Update as often as required, even daily,
without distributing new CD-ROMs |
 |
Individual tailoring - for evaluation
purposes, for charging or for differing client markets |
... all with minimal training
and without changing the way you work. |
In short, SoftCD puts you back in control:
 |
Generate amendments as often as required.
You can charge for the convenience of more frequent updates available electronically |
 |
Only produce new CD-ROMs periodically, for
example, every 6 months. In between, use SoftCD to keep information up-to-date. |
 |
Distribute all the data but only reveal an
evaluation copy. Send an amendment to reveal the rest of the data when you receive
payment. |
 |
Enjoy significantly reduced production and
administration costs because SoftCD eliminates the need to manufacture and distribute new
CD-ROMs for each update. When tailoring CD-ROMs, by using one base CD-ROM for all markets,
you benefit from economy of scale. |
|
How you use SoftCD |
SoftCD requires no programming and is simple to use. The steps are: |
 |
1. |
Distribute the first version of your information to your customers on CD-ROM. |
|
 |
Any set of files, in any Windows compatible file format, can be a SoftCD
publication. |
|
 |
SoftCD is compatible with any Windows application, so you can use whatever application you wish to provide
a front-end to your information. |
2. |
Publish updates.
When information requires updating, the administrator uses SoftCD Publisher to publish the
updates to the CD-ROM as Amendment Files. SoftCD's unique Epsilon Technology
includes only the changes in the Amendment Files and then compresses the file size
further. |
|
 |
To tailor the information to different audiences, use one base CD-ROM but distribute different amendments to "complete"
the information. |
3. |
Download the amendment. |
|
At the clients' convenience, the Amendment Files are
downloaded to the local hard disk. One click starts the download. |
|
Download times are typically minutes, some 10 to 100 times
faster than with competitive products. |
4. |
Keep working. |
|
When the client next references information on the CD-ROM, the
latest data is displayed. The changes are seamless because SoftCD Client uses the
Amendment Files to provide the effect of an updated CD-ROM. |
