C.D.I. Systems and Rendeck Automatisering sign a System Integration agreement

AMSTERDAM/JERUSALEM---June 5, 2005--C.D.I. Systems Ltd., a premier high-tech solution provider for the online publishing market and Rendeck Automatisering B.V., a Dutch system integrator that provides tailor-made solutions to customers in several fields, have signed an agreement that appoints Rendeck as an authorized Systems Integrator of NetIS™, C.D.I. System’s online publishing platform. IBP, a local Business Development agency, was involved in the matching process.

NetIS™ combines strong web content management and DRM functionality with e-commerce tools to deliver a platform that controls the access to, and the sale of, premium content in a secure manner.

NetIS™ enables publishers to segment their premium content into small, concise products. These contain DRM (Digital Rights Management) functionality, which defines the way that content, can be viewed on the screen or exploited by the end-users. For example, content may be displayed for a limited trial period or graphics can be shown with varying levels of distortion, prior to purchase. After purchasing the content, it can be read/viewed, downloaded and printed as per the purchased rights. The digital rights can be enforced on individual items or complete collections of content. Group rights are inherited by the subordinate items and can be overridden by giving a high degree of management control to the individual items. There is no limit to the number of different profiles that can be created in a mergence of content and digital rights.

NetIS™ provides an easy way to locate content, to preview it in a pre-purchase environment and then to acquire the exact content and relevant usage-rights desired.

Marcel Markus, Managing Director & co-founder of Rendeck, an experienced Dutch businessman, said: "We are very impressed with NetIS’ unique capabilities, CDI Systems' professionalism and its practical approach to online publishing. C.D.I. Systems' solution fell in line with our company’s overall objective to expand the current client base and generate substantial spin-off revenues in the online publishing area."

"Our goal is to establish a presence in the Dutch marketplace, considered one of the most prominent markets of the publishing industry," said Itzhak Levit, C.D.I. Systems CEO. "The agreement with Rendeck is part of our strategy to expand the company’s presence in Western Europe, following the success in France and Germany. Rendeck is equipped with a winning team and a proven success track record that can assist us in reaching our business goals in the Netherlands."

Rendeck has already compiled a detailed penetration plan, and intends to establish the sales and marketing program with its own marketing partners in The Netherlands. This will ensure that potential customers are identified and approached. CDI System’s professionals will be part of the process to guarantee that all technical perspectives are covered and mastered by Rendeck staff.

According to the latest research of the Online Publishes Association (OPA) Europe, online publishing has become a mature, independent, and successful industry. The majority of European online publishers are turning into independent profit and loss centres, of which 65% have reached profitability in 2004. Total online revenues from advertising and paid content in Europe are expected to increase to 2.1 billion Euro by 2008, which is equivalent to a compound annual growth rate of 16%.
