Distributing ebooks

TEAFFUSION is TEA’s solution for the distribution of ebooks and audio books. Based on TEA’s expertise in digital warehousing, file protection, and distribution to consumers and libraries (including the France’s digital lending program, PNB), TEAFFUSION gives distributors full control of their distribution operations.
TEAFFUSION consists of a digital warehouse with several file protection technologies (watermarking, LCP, CARE, Adobe) and a distribution platform capable of order processing and file delivery via a documented API.
TEAFFUSION allows the distributor to manage multiple points of sale with differentiated catalog access rights and a high level of granularity (by country, by publisher, by collection, by titles, etc.).
TEAFFUSION also makes it possible to push content metadata to the various points of sale, via a standardized ONIX.
Finally, TEAFFUSION also supports the distribution of non-commercial content (for commercial operations, press services or the sending of digital proofs to publishers and authors).

PNB distribution for library

TEAFFUSION includes support for LCP (or Adobe) DRM based distribution of digital books to libraries. Management of the distribution process is native to the solution, allowing the distributor to very simply market their catalog as part of the PNB (Digital Loan to Libraries) system managed by Dilicom in France. In addition, Vivlio can host the offer as part of its own PNB distribution program, a solution already in place for Hachette, HarperCollins France and Albin Michel.
With TEAFFUSION, you have the choice:

a white label approach for PNB distribution (in this case the distributor manages their own contracts with booksellers),
outsourcing of catalog management to Vivlio (in this case Vivlio manages the distributor’s catalog in the PNB program).

LCP as a service

CARE (Content & Author Rights Environment) is a SaaS solution facilitating seamless deployment of the official LCP DRM solution from start to finish. CARE accelerates the deployment of LCP for publishers, distributors, booksellers and more generally any platform distributing content needing the protection of LCP.
CARE is a Readium LCP certified solution, guaranteeing interoperability with other LCP-certified environments (ebook reader applications or third-party servers). In addition to the official functions supported by Readium LCP, CARE provides a number of enhancements:

strong authentication when LCP-protected files are accessed
the user ID with which the ebook was purchased is used to identify the user when the content is accessed (no need to for additional passwords to access content)
PDF file protection
additional e-reader features integrated with the SDK supplied with apps
