CD-ROM business directory launched

JAKARTA (JP): PT Sumber Daya Multimedia launched yesterday a
new CD-ROM business directory in cooperation with the newspapers
Republika and Bisnis Indonesia and the Internet provider Radnet.

Eddy Santoso, the marketing director at Sumber Daya
Multimedia, said that one disk contains information on 90,000
companies and their profiles.

The CD-ROM enables users to do cross-index searches based on
names, lines of business and phone numbers. "It is far more than
the yellow pages," said Eddy.

Currently released in the silver edition, the CD-ROM
directory, called the Indonesian Business Directory, also allows
users to print mailing labels.

Eddy said the company is planning to release its gold edition
in March 1997.

The gold edition will have more features. It will allow users
to create a phone book with faxing software, send e-mail and
view listed homepages, said Maruto Kolopaking, the company's
president.

The directory will be updated every six months, and any
company that wants to be included can register free of charge
through the homepage of Sumber Daya Multimedia at
http://www.rad.net.id/sdm.

The CD-ROM can also be purchased online or at designated
dealers, bookstores, supermarkets and drugstores.

Kolopaking said his company expects to sell up to 60,000 in
domestic and overseas sales within a year. (Yenni Kwok)
