Major Benefits to Clients
|
There are basically two major assets of any publication house: customer base and contents. A typical publication house that has existed for many years would have accumulated tons of printed materials, some of which are still in their original paper form, and others perhaps have been converted into microfilms and microfiches. Nonetheless, most of these contents and the important assets of publication houses have no backup files in any form.
The September 11th event has changed America forever, and it also changed the way of thinking of most of the business leaders in Corporate America. For example, there was a famous photographer who has been retained exclusively by the family of a former president of the United States for decades. The photographer earned millions of dollars every year by leasing and renting his invaluable library of films to various publication houses, museums and libraries in the world. Most unfortunately, the entire collection of the films had no backup copies. The collection was stored in the safety quarters of a bank located in the underground basement of the former World Trade Center Towers. Thus, these historical materials were totally destroyed after the tragedy.
Learning from this, the business leaders in Corporate America have been thinking very hard on how to protect the valuable information and contents of their respective corporate assets. Most of the firms have already been duplicating their computer files to multiple locations, if they have not done so previously. However, for publication houses, at least 50% of their assets, the contents, have no easy way of being protected from nature and human disasters due to its inherently associated high costs of any attempts of duplicating the huge inventory of data. eBookMatrix believes that it at least could partially solve the problem by providing a cost-effective way to do the job properly for the publication houses and any other corporations alike.
Moreover, as soon as these contents are converted electronically, the data can be searched and used more efficiently, internally and externally. It would increase the productivity of the employees internally for searching any valuable information from the newly revived databank. Most importantly, old and idled assets, of any corporation could produce new revenue-generating streams by offering the online searching capability to the public for a fee.
In summary, eBookMatrix has identified the following major benefits for clients who acquire the archiving services:
|
- Reviving Old Assets Creating new revenue generating streams by offering the contents online.
- Streamlining Productivity Providing a more efficient way to use old information internally, thus improving productivity of employees.
- Contents Backup Most importantly, the electronically converted contents could be easily duplicated and stored in multiple locations protecting them from unexpected disasters.
