Customer (country) :	Alawar Entertainment, multimedia products & computer games developer
Business Case :	Alawar Entertainment is popular shareware games publisher. Alawar was seeking for a cost-effective, sleek and reliable way to sell their games offline. Since it's too costly to distribute the shareware games on the CD's, Syntone has proposed a prepaid scratch card system integrated with online games download portal to attain an appropriate cost of delivery/distribution.
Solution :	Syntone has used Scratch Card Engine to provide a new meaning to games distribution portal. Customers can purchase scratch cards offline in retail stores and outlets and download games online. GameZonePass would supports pre-printed scratch cards of various denominations. The portal tracks each card activation, and keeps records of card balances. Customer can easily navigate through the portal using structured games catalog by genres, top 50 games, most recent games listings. Once customer enters a valid scratch card code, they can see how much downloads are left. There is a comprehensive Admin area to manage the GameZonePass, including complete CMS to upload games, manage catalogue, edit "top 50" and "most recent" listings. The same module facilitates the generation of scratch card codes for further printing. Also Admin module provides necessary tools for management of share revenue relationships with various developers. Each developer is given secure access to the system to track their revenue and stats via detailed real-time reports.
Logical View :	Download subsystem is the component responsible for granting access to downloads and tracking all downloads. It communicates with Games catalog to find particular game and sends notification to Scratch cards subsystem about successful download (to track the balance of particular scratch card). Games catalog is a component that contains structured games information. Scratch card subsystem is responsible for generating and tracking card codes. Developers' management subsystem is a component that allows management of developers. Administration component allows management of all other components of the system, excluding download subsystem.
Tools and Technologies :	Resin, MySQL, Java, Servlet/JSP
Benefits :	A cost-effective, realible, fully-featured solution for games distribution & delivery.
