BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 6, 2004--Exent
Technologies Inc., a global leader in secure digital software delivery
technologies, is launching a new content aggregation service for its
turnkey customers who provide Games-on-Demand services to consumers.
Exent's content aggregation service will further reduce capital
expenditures and time required to launch Games-on-Demand offerings,
already minimized by Exent's turnkey service. Companies using
Exent-powered turnkey services can easily add new games to their
Games-on-Demand services without having to approach publishers directly
for licensing rights.
Exent has already secured more than 500 titles for its content
aggregation service. The catalog includes games of many different genres
such as action/adventure, first person shooters and children's
entertainment/educational offerings. Exent's customers offer games through
tiered subscriptions and other business models.
"Publishers are embracing the fact that Games-on-Demand services,
powered by Exent, continue to show market expansion potential, creating
new revenue windows and reaching new audiences," said Zvi Levgoren,
Exent's CEO. "The increased speed that hit titles are going from store
shelves to Games-on-Demand testifies to the confidence publishers have in
this opportunity. We're gratified that publishers see that the
Games-on-Demand industry is maturing and trust Exent to handle
distribution deals for their licensed properties."
The Exent turnkey service provides all the elements needed for
broadband service providers, consumer portals or consumer brand owners to
digitally distribute games to consumers through a subscription, rental,
try-before-you-buy or purchase model.
In addition to the new content aggregation, Exent's turnkey service
consists of technology infrastructure, consumer customer service, billing
and Web destination. The different elements can be delivered as a complete
package or in individualized configurations to enable companies to select
the optimal combination of outsourced and in-house operations.
