There are two elements to the eDesktop system:

The eDesktop application, which is installed by the recipient.

The Administration Area used by the organisation broadcasting information to the eDesktop users.

The eDesktop Application

Users of the eDesktop information delivery system, must first install the eDesktop application. This can be done by download from a web-site or upload from a CD-Rom.

Before using the application for the first time recipients of eDesktop messages answer a few questions about the type of information they are interested in - thus ensuring that only relevant material gets to the users and that they remain interested in the broadcasts.

The content is branded as befits the information being delivered and is fully configurable to give maximum impact and memorability. In its most basic format eDesktop can deliver text and images along with web links. eDesktop can include bespoke applications such as a calendar, which can be used by the client to schedule reminders and draw attention to important dates, and by the user as a personal organiser. eDesktop can deliver video, music and games within an exciting, dynamic and fully interactive environment.

Administration Area

The broadcasts can be scheduled to arrive at a precise time on a given date, using the request information provided by the user. News can be delivered to the whole user base or to specific sub groups. In this way eDesktop ensures that the information delivered is relevant and up to date.

Step 1

The content manager enters information to be broadcast via a simple admin system

Step 2

This information is then placed on the eDesktop Broadcast server.

Step 3

The broadcast is then made at the required time with the appropriate content for predetermined sets of users.
