CD-ROM
Development:
Chase Information Systems, Inc. (CIS) began creating interactive CD-ROMs
in 2001, and has since been consistently perfecting this "art"
of multimedia publishing. Using the Lingo programming language CIS
has been able to develop some of the most leading edge CD-ROM series
to date. Recently CIS has been perfecting a new cross platform template
for a Continuing Education series of CD-ROMs - i.e., built to run
on both PC-based and Macintosh computers. Additionally, CIS has been
working to develop auto-updating and database-driven CD-ROMs.
CIS has been busying negotiating contracts in four interactive CD-ROM
markets:
- Catalog
CDs for selling products via self-updating CD-ROM which connects
to the web for real-time processing.
- Interactive
Training CDs for easily portable, highly effective multimedia
training programs.
- eBooks
on CD for placing printed materials onto a CD-ROM in an encrypted
and secure manner.
- Marketing
CDs for animated, entertaining, and informative displays of company
or product information.

Low-End
and Mid-End CD-ROMs:
Interactive CD-ROMs can be as simple as mounting an MS PowerPoint
Presentation onto a CDROM with a run-time executable (an .exe file).
These PowerPoint Presentation CDs have the ability to run on a PC
that does not have MS PowerPoint installed by running the PPT Projector
from the CD if necessary.
Another simplistic application for interactive CDROMs is to capture
a websites onto a CD. CIS recently captured the RTM
Electric, Inc. website and encapsulated it onto a CD-ROM. Thus
as soon as the CD is inserted into a computer, the website loads
from the CD-ROM, which enables clients without Internet access (or
with slow Internet access) the ability to view the website easily
and effectively.
A "middle-of-the-road" interactive CD-ROM could incorporate
Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files into a auto-starting CD-ROM (using a Director
Projector file). This sort of CD-ROM is becoming more and more popular,
but the drawback is that you are limited by using only Acrobat Reader
on the end-user's computer. As well, Acrobat is an effective way
to display printed materials (even on a High-End CD-ROM Adobe Acrobat
is utilized for such), but by using only Acrobat you do not have
the ability to display full animations and/or to incorporate sophisticated
audio or video playback. An Adobe Acrobat CD-ROM is useful for Mid-End
CD-ROM development, but is not the most effective method of CD-ROM
development.
High-End
CD-ROM Development:
On
the High-End of CD-ROM development, a fully interactive digital
catalog could be placed onto a CD. This includes the capability
to link to the Internet to place an order, or to print an order
form, and/or to check for recent product updates via the Internet.
With thousands of products for sale, and possibly large digital
image files, your best bet may be a CD-ROM catalog (due to bandwidth
issues even when your client has a DSL connection). As well, customers
with no Internet access, low-speed Internet access, or other "issues"
with the Internet, can easily access your digital CD-ROM catalog
without using the Internet. Adding an MS Access
Database or a v12 Database to the project adds the potential
for a catalog that is very easy for your company to update and maintain.

Another High-End use is what Chase Information Systems, Inc. has
been doing for Nursing Associations. CD sets are currently being
used by Nursing Associations for Continuing Education purposes.
Association Conferences are recorded and the handout materials collected
in digital formats. These materials are then placed into a CD-ROM
interface by CIS, using the Association's logo and images in visually
pleasing and animated manners. The end result is an interactive
learning CD that nurses around the country can use to study the
materials while listening to the conference audio sessions to absorb
the information which they are required to learn. Afterwards the
nurses may print and fill out an exam, which is to be mailed back
to the Association in order to earn "Contact Hour" credits.
A secure "online Internet form" version of the exam is
also available.
High-End CD-ROM Development can include placing large amounts of
virtually any training or marketing materials onto an interactive
CD-ROM. Audio, video, handouts, diagrams, charts, animations, even
databases can all be placed onto a CD-ROM. Note taking features,
diagram displays, or the printing of handout materials are all easily
accomplished via an interactive CD-ROM developed by CIS. Giving
your clients and sales reps menu-driven, highly informational, and
auto-updating CD-ROMs gives your company or association an edge
that is not only highly effective, but is also essential in today's
marketplace.
Macromedia
Director and Shockwave Development:
CIS
utilizes Macromedia development products
to create their interactive CD-ROMs. By combining artistic graphic
art elements and "lingo" programming structures Chase
Information Systems, Inc. has been developing some incredibly intuitive,
highly sophisticated, and aesthetically pleasing interactive CD-ROMs.
Adding Macromedia Flash, LiveMotion, Adobe Acrobat, Apple Quicktime,
Microsoft Media Player, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, Microsoft
Excel, v12 Database, plus more, CIS programs an interactive CD that
has everything you can imagine included in meaningful and easy-to-use
manners.
Everything from interactive marketing brochures, to auto-updating
training materials, to text books, to interactive
conference CD-ROMs (including audio, video, and handout materials),
to product catalogs CDs that can be easily updated including
an auto-updating feature (to have your catalog CD capable of price
changes as well as offering product sales from time to time and
ending the sales when you decide to - without having to make new
CDs). Our security features include methods to keep your documents
completely secure by employing 128-bit encryption and other
security methods to make piracy virtually impossible.
Kiosk Projects:
Distributing
information via an interactive Kiosk (non-manned information center)
is an old idea with the new twist being the visitor's ability to
interact with the Kiosk. Animated Kiosks with video portions, text
portions, Internet-like portions, etc. can add to the effectiveness
of a Kiosk. Adding the ability for user interaction to this full
multimedia production creates a leading edge Kiosk capable of efficiently
educating. CD-ROM Development is what drives these interactive or
full multimedia Kiosks. Just ask CIS about
this exciting possibility...
Just imagine having an interactive menu-driven system for viewing
not only what businesses are located in a shopping center, but also
gaining access to "info-mercials" about the stores. Being
able to print coupons for the stores the customer intends to visit,
watching entertaining and informative video presentations (or a
printed presentation with audio) could greatly increase revenue
for shopping malls. Or add an interactive kiosk to an office building
to do the same for the various services offered by the businesses
within the facility.
The
Leading Edge Method:
Distributing
digital information has never been easier: Adobe Acrobat files
(PDFs), audio and music files (MP3s and WAVs), video
(MPEGs, MOVs, RAMs, etc.), Internet-based files (HTML, Flash,
Shockwave, etc.), and just about everything else you can
think of. Chase Information Systems, Inc. can aid your company in
the creation of these media types from the existing documents that
you currently have, as well as creating the interactive
CD-ROM program. For instance placing your spreadsheets into
HTML tables, converting your Word documents into PDF files, or reducing
your WAV audio files into the MP3 format. These materials are then
placed into a CD-ROM program that CIS creates just for your company.
Chase Information Systems, Inc. utilizes every "inch"
of the CD-ROM to allow for the maximum use of a single CD. Up to
700 MB of data can be placed onto a single CD-ROM, which could include
hours of MP3 audio files and dozens of Acrobat handout or training
materials.
With the larger storage capacity of the new DVD-ROMs the potential
amount of data that can be placed onto this media is increasing
as we speak - to astronomical levels!
Talk about a "Return on Your Investment" (ROI), CD-ROMs
offer probably the single most effective medium to date!
CIS can aid you with whatever it is you
require...
