Services

OPTIMUS provides a wide spectrum of services (just look at the list below). Whether your CD-ROMs are distributed daily or yearly, whether the volume of data is 1 MB or 25 gigabytes, or whether you want to produce one CD or 100,000 CDs, we can accommodate your application needs using the wide range of software and hardware products available to us and our talented staff of programmers.

Let us show you what we can do!

Service Successes:

A parts catalog that cross-references 17 databases and is compressed at 10:1. DOS and Windows viewing software is also contained on this 4-CD set that is distributed to 22,000 customers each month.
IBM S/390 mainframe reports in AFP and 3211 print formats distributed with the OPTIview integrated PC viewer.
A catalog of products with integrated multimedia advertisements for vendors (our client sold space on the disc for more than the project cost). This application included a custom viewer that allowed searching on over 100 key words.
A data interchange application, with a customer-written retrieval system. The customer supplies data on floppies and 3480 tape and OPTIMUS writes everything to CD-Recordable.
