Online (web-based) catalogs, reference manuals and subscription publications
Sales and delivery of ebooks, courseware and subscriptions to publications can be made using our online PDF security services. Our Webdoxx sites provide all the facilities required for uploading files and automated conversion of these to our special HTML5 format, using shared or dedicated service Webdoxx platforms. Content can then be monetized as described below.
Customers place orders for Webdoxx-hosted documents, journals or courseware on your E-commerce system, or an Ecommerce service we can provide on your behalf. In many instances a web page will be provided for product and service ordering and/or access to specific documents. A sample of such a web-based catalog is shown below. The customer receives an email acknowledging the order. Details of how to access the material and the access control arrangements set up for them (e.g. a unique username/password) are provided manually or programmatically as part of the order processing - special facilities are available to enable this process to be fully automated via our API and/or bespoke services. Access for large groups, e.g. hospitals, colleges, government departments, can be made via static IPAddress control blocks as an alternative to individual username/password access.
The files can be made available without access controls (i.e. for public access) or with access controls (via username/password access control, with a range of special facilities for more complex access control requirements). Users can be enabled for access to specific documents and not to others, and can be enabled/disabled instantly and/or on a specified date basis.
This makes sales and subscription arrangements very simple to setup. And there is no software to install and no files for the user to download - they simply access the relevant documents based on the security controls that have been specified.
