GLDS Offers Exclusive Discounts on iN DEMAND

iN DEMAND and Great Lakes Data Systems, Inc. have reached an agreement which will consolidate the monthly PPV minimums for all iN DEMAND affiliates using the web-enabled Digital Service Bureau.  The Digital Service Bureau (DSB) operated by Great Lakes Data Systems, Inc. provides cable operators with digital provisioning and billing services via Internet, as well as Impulse PPV, Polling Services, HMS management, and phone ordering via ARU/IVR. 

As part of this cost-saving consolidation agreement, Great Lakes Data Systems will provide daily direct file reporting to iN Demand, accept single invoice billing, and guarantee payment of the consolidated minimum in behalf of participating affiliates.  This arrangement is similar to what is done at a single MSO for multiple small systems, and will result in no individual system minimums for DSB affiliates.  The Digital Service Bureau has provided low-cost digital authorization service to more than 80 companies in 22 states since its launch in October of 2000.
