Jazz Media is a Sydney (Australia)-based computer programming, multimedia company which grew out of Primal Screen Multimedia, and has been in operation as a separate company since in 1998. Together they have been in operation since 1994. Jazz Media specialises in programming multimedia products with a substantial data content, hidden behind an elegant, logical interface.

Jazz Media has produced many award-winning multimedia CD-ROMs and designed dynamic web-sites, ranging from bulletin boards with specific functional requirements to staff training systems involving data-logging and statistical reporting. Jazz Media consulted on the Wine Pros international web site on database design, and assisted with code and data migration from an earlier system. See the products page to see more products Jazz Media has produced and the awards they have earned.

Why Jazz Media?

• Solutions are designed to reach the largest possible customer base. All our client solutions are cross-platform (Macintosh and Windows, and soon Linux). Our server solutions are Unix-based (recommended), and web-servers are designed to work with any browser (not just Internet Explorer users);

• All CD-ROM products can be distributed royalty-free. Use of our proprietary database allows us to provide licenses for unlimited copying and distribution rights.

• Jobs are quoted individually at a fixed cost per feature, and delivered on time. This allows you to accurately budget and time-line your project in advance, without the usual concerns of an estimate blow-out. Okay, so everyone claims they deliver on time. Contact us and we will put you in touch with some previous clients as references (at their discretion, of course).

• Local design expertise can be utilised. Your in-house graphic design team can be used to generate the interface, if you so choose. If not, we can recommend companies specialising in this area which you may deal with directly or we can subcontract for you.

• Employees are properly skilled and qualified. Programmers are computer-science graduates, and not self-taught spagetti coders. Designers used are trained in interface design as well as graphic arts, or as is appropriate to the job.

• Experience. Over 10 years multimedia programming experience, including over 20 distinct commercial CD-ROM titles on sale in computer stores and book shops around the world, culminating in hundreds of thousands of user licenses. See the products page for examples.

• Satisfied clients. The best evidence of satisfied clients is through their consistent re-use of a particular supplier. Repeat clients include HarperCollins Publishers, Wine Pros International, Random House Australia and Global Publishing. Count the number of times of times these clients have returned to Jazz Media for a new product yourself, on the products page.
