AdFast
INTERNET ARTWORK DELIVERY AGENCY - UK AND EIRE
AdFast was launched in August 2000, and is now accepted as one
of the foremost artwork delivery mechanisms in the country. It was
set up to provide a single Internet portal that
allows users to access all subscribing titles using one
simple mechanism. AdFast now has a traffic rate of approx.
1,250,000 file transfers a year.
AdFast is an Internet-based artwork delivery system for the
transfer of PDF files. It includes a delivery
mechanism and an integrated online title and specifications
database. Other file formats cannot be transferred by
AdFast.
AdFast addresses the many problems surrounding digital artwork
file delivery.
The most common problems are:
- locating the information required to contact titles
- being able to access the title's production department to
deliver the file
- ensuring that the file, once delivered, is usable by the
recipient
Adfast solves these problems by:
- the title database contact information
- providing a central portal together with a server farm to which
different users can send concurrently.
- providing the information and tools required which allow
senders to build PDF files and downloaders to receive files.
both agency uploaders and publishers can access the system, and
all work to a common standard.
