A new trend has surfaced for business people and consumers
who are selling downloadable content on the Internet, such
as digital books, exercize DVDs, films, music or even
custom business presentations. It's called "On Demand
Production" and allows manufacturing of CDs and DVDs on an
as needed basis, eliminating the up-front costs of
producing multiple titles normally associated with CD/DVD
production. This is a cost effective and complete turnkey
solution that can include packaging, fulfillment and
inventory storage.
This trend is of particular interest after the announcement
by the DVD Copy Control Association (DVD CCA) on September
19, 2007 which approved a final copy-protection
specification for on-demand disc burning.
The On Demand DVD Production module allows for the DVD
replication services, or the manufacture of CD/DVD products
upon purchase with zero inventory, allowing customers to
focus their efforts on marketing products, rather than
producing and storing them.
Technically, CD and DVD On Demand Production technology is
a system that even provides short run cd duplication
options to manufacture CDs & DVDs, package and ship them
worldwide, and then track the orders. On Demand helps
customers sell download-able content over the Internet by
offering content optionally on CDs or DVDs. Products can
even be branded with custom artwork on the CD/DVD covers
and sleeves. People can order only as they sell and avoid
the hassle of inventory, packaging and fulfillment. Plus
there is an automated ordering and tracking process.
The entire process helps reduce the up-front cost of
producing multiple quantities which eliminates inventory
and obsolescence costs of pre-produced inventory.
"With traditional CD/DVD replication services significant
quantity orders are required at one time and customers need
a method to distribute them to the end user. However, there
are many situations when this does not work," said
Acutrack, Inc.'s President and Chief Executive Officer Raj
Barman.
"For instance, if a training company requires courses to be
distributed on CD/DVD and they are not sure how many
students are registering for the training, then On Demand
Production is the ideal solution," he continued.
People no have to worry about DVD projects because of these
new On Demand expert DVD manufacturing services. They
typically support DVD-5, DVD-9, DVD-10 and DualDisc
formats, and comply with IRMA's anti-piracy compliance.
Other situations where On Demand Production benefits
customers include companies who want to tailor their
content to meet their customer's specific needs. A software
company has frequent changes in their software and wants to
always ship the latest version, or others who wish to
convert more of their sales to the downloadable version of
their product, yet they still want to offer their customers
the option to order their software on CD or to order a
backup CD.
