THE BUSINESS MODEL & STRATEGY

Sriven has grown & matured in terms of its technical skill levels. Sriven envisages being in a position of strength in the next two to three years in the fields of animation and Converging technologies. The objective therefore is to propel the company into a prominent market position by intensifying and accelerating marketing and sales activities, services expansion, distribution and customer service. In order to sustain this growth, Sriven plans to invest more into the development of infrastructure, hire highly trained professionals, and diversify into related fields of expertise in an effort to globally compete with similar businesses.

An industry analysis says broadband is changing the way we consume media. In the coming years the front end of all software is going to be broadband enabled. Multimedia and Animation are going to play a crucial role to take care of this business convergence.

In the animation industry, strategically, Sriven looks at partnering with renowned studios in US for co-production deals leveraging its 2D animation expertise through Webtoons. Because co-production not only increases the brand equity the company but also has a potential to generate revenue for a relatively longer period (through direct commercialization of the serials and merchandising of the characters through various platforms over a period of time). Sriven looks at bringing in the quality and expertise of Station X into the Indian Entertainment industry, which has been growing at more than 25% per annum over the past last two years.

To establish itself as a rich media, eService and content company of choice Sriven has taken strategic steps to develop broadband compatible multimedia content globally. While leveraging its expertise through its Joint Venture Company, Powersurfer, Sriven is partnering with ETISALAT in UAE to develop rich media, broadband content, Strategically, through this relationship Sriven looks at establishing its brand equity as a premium multimedia content provider not only in the GCC but also in the neighboring African countries, because UAE is the fastest growing technological superpower in GCC and ETISALAT is technologically advanced and the role model for communication for rest of the gulf countries and neighboring African countries.

As a pioneer of Kiosk technology in India, Sriven now looks at promoting eCommerce and bCommerce through its proprietary kiosk engines, With this vision Sriven has developed BrowsEasy, a multimedia kiosk engine for secure payment mechanisms and eService, BrowsEasy is going to hit the market by January' 2001.

With a focus on Internet enabled software development Sriven Multi-Tech Limited is poised to become a dot-com solutions provider through venturing out into e-commerce in a big way.

With offices in Boston in USA and Sydney in Australia providing the front office and marketing support, the International Software Development Centre located on the tenth floor of the prestigious HITEC City shall act as the solutions provider for these international operations.

Touch-Screen Kiosks

It can be said with conviction that Sriven Multi-Tech Limited is poised to become India's leading touch-screen kiosk solutions provider. After 5 years of speciality research in multimedia kiosk design, the company has developed a range of multimedia kiosks aimed at several industries Hospitality & Tourism Info-Kiosks, Music & Video Jukeboxes, Corporate Training kiosks, Web browsing kiosks, etc.

Why Kiosks will be successful

The company has done extensive research on kiosks. Its products were showcased at major conventions including at the KioskCom 99, the World Kiosk Conference at San Francisco in April 1999. Third party research firms such as Frost & Sullivan have confirmed that India would have a US$ 236 million market for kiosks. The company has the first-player advantage and aims at taking a major share of this market. The demand for kiosks is linked to the penetration attained for telecom and by the I.T. sector, improvement in touch screens, growing awareness among corporates, expansion of the internet and rapid growth of e-commerce.

In India, where less than 1 % of the population owns computers, touch-screen kiosks with multimedia information content shall prove to be an easy and effective way to access information.

Why Multimedia for kiosks

Multimedia is the most powerful of all media today and touch-screens make it extremely easy to use multimedia. Localised, multilingual content of high quality, customizable to target specific audiences can be provided through a locally available audio-visual multimedia interface. While unlimited content can be randomly accessed, there is no risk of information overload as in case of the internet.

Information Services Providing

The company aims at being an information services provider (ISP) through its network of kiosks. Touch-screen based and multimedia enabled Information (and Internet) Vending Terminals would be the means of providing information access to people who don't own computers, don't know how to use them, and to those who are afraid of computers.

Kiosks have already been deployed at Hyderabad for the last few months as a test and usage patterns and activities are being monitored. This shall enable the company to formulate plans based on actual experience and the company has the advantage of experience in kiosk deployment. Kiosks which were off-line to date, would soon be networked and information shall be on-line. Revenue models include pay-for-use, advertising/sponsorships and channel hiring on kiosks. Electronic Commerce enabling on the network through the use of smart-cards for access and payment shall open up a totally new channel Through which e-commerce could be transacted, even by people who don't own computers or credit cards.

The company plans to implement similar networks in all the metros and shall also make the content suitable for transmission through cables to set-top boxes in a years time. This would ensure wide reach through the network.

The company provides solutions on touch-screens manufactured by MicroTouch of Australia, which is the leading brand world-over, and works very closely with the manufacturers to match its products with the the best in the world.

Digital Cartoon Animation

Cartoon films are a medium that appeal to the young and old alike. There are several world-wide channels that broadcast cartoons, many of them for 24 hours a day. Traditionally, cartoon film making has been an expensive, labour intense process that required manual production of thousands of paintings. While most of pre-production happened in USA, Japan and Europe, actual production was manually done in China, Philippines and Korea.

With the foray of computer aided digital cartoon development, the market for cartoon films has dramatically risen. Apart from the English language advantage, a unique blend of talent skill and technology makes India one of the best geographical sources for foreign production companies to get their productions done.

To cater to this export market, the company has established a fully digital animation production studio to develop cartoon films for US, European and Japanese markets. A team of 100 digital artists and ink & paint specialist work force under top animators who have come from all over India to join the company. Using the latest Retas! Pro software for digital ink and paint and special effects compositing, the studio shall also offer webcasting solutions to international animation studios.

A fully functional studio is already operational and has been visited by several animation film makers from different countries including Brazil, Germany, USA, Finland and Austria. The studio is one of the most unique and creative studios of its kind in India. Commercial production shall begin by January of 2000.
