Interoperability is Essential

• Most campaigns rely on one proprietary

symbology, one campaign resolution

company and have no mass or scale

» The result: Industry fragmentation.

» Competing vendors and technologies

resulting in a market unable to sustain

unique point solutions.

• Brands who buy advertising demand:

» Reach

» Targeting

» Measurement and

» Competitive ROI for their spend

• Importantly: Interoperability is critical

» Leverage each players’ investment

» Supplies broad reach for brands and advertisers

» Provides safety and security of large numbers

− Standardized systems and competitive suppliers

− Clearinghouse provides secured gateway

» Provides the critical mass required to build and sustain healthy ecosystem

− Peering and point solutions don’t address

− Competition, innovation and scale matter

1. A code is scanned and sent through a local gateway to the designated clearinghouse.

2. The CCH does a registry lookup then queries the Campaign Manager for content

3. The URI is sent back to the handset which invokes it, commonly retrieving some remote content

Players and roles• Brands- pay money for campaigns and fund

electronic content. Includes magazines, outdoor,

television, Internet, etc.
