A sound studio wants a way to cut the time and costs. A graphic artist loses time faxing reduced-size copies of catalogs, advertisements, and brochures to her clients for review. She saves money as she increases her repsonsiveness in a competitive industry that runs on tight deadlines. A stock photo house uses ISDN to streamline access to a growing number of electronically stored photos and illustrations. Through ISDN, the company can send thumbnails of photos for review to sports editors, advertising agencies and others.
Clients can view and enlarge the thumbnails on their Macintoshes or PCs.
High-resolution versions of the chosen photos can be downloaded through ISDN or delivered conventionally via courier or mail. The newspaper company became an information company by using the Internet to establish a site for disseminating information. Through communications lines, the company can disseminate photos, articles, and other multimedia resources. She replaced the separate lines with just one ISDN line. With communications and information available to her during business hours and after , she can enjoy the productivity and high morale associated with a flexible schedule.
