LLOYD MELNICK:  Octagon Entertainment is the leading agency for computer and video game developers.  Octagon represents developers and sets up their licensing agreements both in the US and overseas.  askSam is one of our crucial competitive advantages as it allows Octagon to be more than a relationship driven company but a full knowledge company.  All agents at Octagon keep open an askSam knowledge base, which includes crucial information about all specific markets, key deal points, and industry trends.  When speaking with potential clients and potential licensees, this knowledge base allows Octagon to answer virtually any question and provide the information necessary when selling a product to convince publishers of its value.  Additionally, Octagon maintains a developer directory which is a detailed survey of all computer and video game developers.  Using this askSam database, Octagon can immediately identify the developers best suited for a game publisher's project.
