With Philips re-organizing their business heavily since the Centurion operation between 1990-1996, there was even a CD-i explaining the how and why

The timeframe of CD-i captured a few remarkable events in the storyline of Philips. One interesting example is the Philips 100 event: Philips existed 100 years in 1991, a year that is within the lifespan of CD-i. Next to a book, Philips was in the position to create a modern internative version on CD-i as well. (to be feautered later this year on Interactive Dreams)

Another example, to promote their Competence Centre and message of their Evoluon building, they produced a specific CD-i explaining everything about the Evoluon including the product catagories of Philips that were, at that time, exposed in the rings of the Evoluon. 

A third example is this one, Centurion. The reason why Philips created these kind of discs is simply because they could: Philips used to be a large company with all kinds of competences inhouse. Next to Air purifiers, they produced compact discs as well. So when a company like Philips was re-organizing (in a world without internet) - what way to distribute the business message would be better than CD-i? Both were made by Philips anyway. In this CD-i, you'll find the why and the how of the Centurion operation. Why is it needed to re-organize Philips, make the company smaller and more efficient? How did they plan to do this? 

The Centurion operation lasted between 1990-1996. The ironic part is that CD-i eventually was also killed in this Centurion operation as a final decision: Philips shut down all its media activities to focus more on certain core values.
