How is REDSM different from other ESD providers?
First, RED is non-competitive. We don't have our own store, nor do we power publishers' stores. And we aren't the merchant of record. We let you to maintain relationships with your customers as part of an integrated shopping experience in your store. We merely sit behind the scenes providing the technology base that allows you to service your customers with digital content.
Second, RED is not one-size-fits-all. We allow you to dynamically brand and merchandise digital content the way you would any other inventory. So whether your customer is buying a lawn chair or digital content, or both, the experience is consistent.
How many products do you offer in inventory?
There are hundreds of software titles already enrolled with new products coming online daily. Check with your Protexis representative for up-to-date information on RED's growing digital inventory.
Are other forms of digital content like music or videos supported by RED?
Although RED is available today with digital software, the technology is very robust and scalable to all types of digital content. If you are interested in other forms of digital content and would like to be on the forefront of its availability, please contact us directly.
Can I select which products I want to carry?
Yes. Because RED is not one-size-fits-all, you can select which products you would like to make available through your online store. Also, with our easy-to-use interface, you can login any time and select from new and up-to-date product offerings.
How does RED benefit my customers?
With RED, you can provide your customers with access to more digital content through a seamless shopping experience that is integrated into one site, one catalog and one cart. As a result, they have more content to choose from, an easier purchasing process and more reasons to shop at your store.
How is Protexis uniquely positioned to offer this solution?
As a neutral party that does not retail or distribute software ourselves, Protexis does not compete with its retail partners. Instead, we enable you with custom inventory that is seamlessly integrated into your shopping cart – not our own. We regard the retailer as the expert in merchandising and allow full customer ownership and trusted ongoing digital support.
In addition, that neutrality is important to publishers who have long been seeking a solution that will give them technology-based confidence from a trusted party to make their software gold masters available for download across retailers on the web.
From a technology standpoint, Protexis not only pioneered the first commercially available product activation technology, which is still in wide use today, but also has a strong intellectual property portfolio of patents validating the robust technology foundation of all of our products. Plus, the management team has decades of experience as thought-leaders in the industry.
Further, we have been the underlying technology for CNET Network's Upload.com web site, powering the copy protection, trial enablement, customer registration and e-commerce services for products on Download.com. Protexis currently serves multi-billion dollar retailers and over 1,800 software publishers.
