Like websites, CD-ROMs have a large number of applications in the business world. Unlike websites, they can be viewed offline and by those without an Internet connection, thereby reaching a far larger potential audience.
With no download required, CD-ROMs are an ideal medium for distributing substantial amounts of information such as detailed images or large multimedia files. Some of the potential applications of an interactive CD-ROM include:
- Standalone products for sale to the public
- Inductions and interactive internal company training guides
- Company showreels
- Annual reports and stakeholder reports
- Multimedia product and service demonstrations
- Interactive knowledge bases e.g. brochures and catalogues
