1. iDigMedia can simplify your life and transform Costs into Profits.

iDigMedia serves or sells your high resolution digital pictures, video files, EPS image files, and electronic graphic files of all types, via a portal on your website.

With iDigMedia, your customers can browse your files and selectively download individual files, or manage their downloads using a shopping cart.

iDigMedia differs from other electronic media hosting companies because it only serves data from CD or DVD data disks.

Therefore, iDigMedia can store and serve your data to the web for the same monthly cost as a single merchant account, while eliminating all other onerous requirements!

2. Your customer's can access your files via your website.

Imagine letting your customers view or buy your:

• High resolution digital pictures,
• Video files,
• EPS image files, and
• Electronic graphic files of all types,

  through a portal on your website, with no effort on your part. No more interruptions or effort to find and present your media.

  With a simple HTML frame reference, iDigMedia can incorporate into your website a full media browser, search capability, download mechanism, and point-of-sale, for all your archived media. Your customers can browse your files 24x7 and only you will know that iDigMedia is doing the work behind the scenes.

3. Not since "the Swiss Army Knife" has there been such a simple solution to such a plethora of problems.

If you are an AD AGENCY or a CORPORATE GRAPHICS DEPARTMENT, iDigMedia opens broad new vistas to expand your markets.  You'll be able to take dead files and repurpose them into saleable products. Imagine the hassles you'll eliminate:

•  No more hunting and burning CD's.
•  No more packaging.
•  No more mailing costs.
•  No more getting organized.

If you are an independent PHOTOGRAPHER, those same hassles can be solved for you also.  And iDigMedia can lighten the load of marketing your creations.  You'll be able to present your photos in new and better ways by letting us share the burden.

If you are a SCHOOL, iDigMedia will let you accomplish things you never thought possible.  Imagine being able to bring photo and video memories to any student, parent, teacher, or "alum" at the touch of a button.  You will expand your outreach into the community through more effective communication with immeasurable benefits.

If you are a LIBRARY, iDigMedia will enable you to provide more of your resources to the public.  Imagine all the historical documents on microfiche and microfilm, which now can only be viewed by one person at a time after extensive research, being made available to multitudes simultaneously.  The possibilities are only constrained by your imagination.

4. A cost effective way to serve your large files to the web.

The cost of hosting a single high resolution image (for example: a 200 Megabyte file) can be prohibitively expensive-- perhaps $70 per year for that one (1) single file. The only other alternative for distributing that large file is to burn and mail each CD yourself; most organizations that do these manual disk mail-outs NEVER recoup their labor and shipping costs.

Instead of sending that disk to your customer, send it to iDigMedia and we'll make it available to all your customers through your web site! Now, you'll have an inexpensive way to store lots of large files for web access.

Whether you are a COMPANY that needs to make large graphic files available on the web or a SCHOOL that wants to make student videos publicly accessible, iDigMedia is the most cost effective way to host large files.

 

5. You can turn past costs into future profits.

You'll be able to recover many of your media development costs by providing a secure point-of-sale to your hosted files. iDigMedia can assign a cost to each media file OR you can allow your files to be downloaded for free.

Whether you are a PHOTOGRAPHER selling your photos on the web or an AGENCY looking for a new revenue stream, iDigMedia can help you take dead files and repurpose them into saleable products.

6. An economical way to store your rarely used files on the web.

Most organizations have stacks of archive data CDs or DVDs laying around the office that are not organized and could otherwise be used to achieve revenue. iDigMedia will take those disks and place them into a CD/DVD jukebox. In other words, iDigMedia is leasing slots in a jukebox instead of hard drive space. Fill up a CD or DVD with rarely used files and they're ready to be distributed via the web.

Whether you are a LIBRARIAN that wants to make images of original documents available to the public or a GRAPHIC DEPARTMENT that wants to freely distribute logos for your company, iDigMedia is the most economical service to place that image file on the web.

7. You can track all the files your customers download.

You'll have the ability to track all the files downloaded by your customers through iDigMedia. You'll be able to monitor the usage of your website for performance improvement and to calculate return on investment. You can further expand the tracking to link in-house systems to iDigMedia via a customer ID or email address of your choosing.

Whether your organization is a stickler for metrics, or you just want to know which files are being requested, iDigMedia will help you identify and collect your metrics.

Here's how it is done:

iDigMedia is like no other electronic media hosting company because it holds and serves data from CD or DVD data disks. When your customer selects a file, the corresponding disk is automatically loaded into a drive and the target file made available for download. iDigMedia is the only known web service to have perfected this "CD/DVD jukebox to the web" process.

iDigMedia makes this extraordinary service possible by combining four of the "best of breed" products from Assured Solutions:

• Auto-SORT®--Indexing & Search
• Auto-MART®--Vending
• Auto-VIEW®--Distributing
• AutoFLOW®--Processing

Here's the cost to host a disk:

You choose the amount of data to host on-line for one low monthly fee because iDigMedia is leasing slots in a jukebox instead of hard drive space. Fill up a CD or DVD with files and they are ready to be distributed via the web. The largest disk format that we currently accept is DVD-9 which roughly translates into a 8.5 Gig DVD-R data disk. The cost to lease a slot is $20 per month with no setup fee. Your data can be served to the web for a fraction of a penny per megabyte per month!

Here's how the process works:

Once you send your disk to iDigMedia, the setup process that we go through to get your images on-line is:

• Verify that your disk is uniquely named; no two disks may have the same name in the jukebox.
• Manually insert the disk into the jukebox.
• Catalog and index the disk for all your users to see and access.
• Link your disk directory structure to image thumbnails.
• Contact you (the vendor) to deliver the vendor code and provide you with the link to your files.

  In the event that your data is not already archived on disk, iDigMedia has a sister service called RemoteArchiving.com. RemoteArchiving retrieves and manages every type of file format from text to digital pictures, along with their associated data, for permanent archiving. RemoteArchiving will categorize and store all these "MEDIA ASSETS" of your entire department onto Compact Disks ("CD's") or Digital Video Disks ("DVD's") for quick and easy RETRIEVAL at any time. Not only can data archived through RemoteArchiving be hosted on iDigMedia, but RemoteArchiving will burn an extra disk of your data FOR FREE that can be used here on iDigMedia.

Here's how you link your website:

Connecting your web site to the iDigMedia service is as simple as substituting the code we give you in the URL: http://www.idigmedia.com/resources/<your vendor code>/.
