Ausinfoshop.com

Ausinfoshop.com is a new model for multi-channel publishing, including hard copy fulfillment, via fully featured on-line document delivery and true "print-on-demand".

Ausinfoshop services are fully customisable for both publishers and distributors of publications and for their clients and markets - who now demand a choice of how they obtain and use information.

Ausinfoshop:

• Recognises the changes occurring in government and corporate information distribution;
• Provides complete "end-to end" or "mix and match" services to complement your existing communications supply chain.

The AusInfoshop on-line service provides a virtual shopping mall for your publications and information products. It can link to, or form the heart of, your web site publications area and provide real value added services to the users of your information.

The Internet is now a prime source of government and industry publications and information dissemination. Publications are usually available for on-line viewing or as a downloadable files. Increasingly many publications are only available electronically.

Government and industry web sites and other marketing channels usually direct users to an in-house contact or an external service provider to order publications that have been pre-printed and stored in bulk.

The Transition

While the need for conventional printing, warehousing and distribution services continues for many publications, Ausinfoshop partners with our clients as they make the transition from conventional processes.
