Using "Enter the" to introduce a topic

Question

I am writing an article for my school magazine on the ASCII encoding system and need your help choosing the right set of words.

This part of the article deals with the shortcomings of the Morse code and introduces the ASCII system with its advantages.

This is how it goes,

Perhaps the biggest disadvantage is its steep learning curve, it is
  difficult to grasp and simply not worth the time and effort. Enter the
  ASCII system.

And then it goes on about how ASCII is much superior than Morse code.

Is this correct? If not, what else could be used in its place?

Edit: Would a comma after enter help?

Enter, the ASCII system. It was designed to make transmissions...

"Enter the ASCII system." "Enter" is simply an introduction word to emphasize something not quite anticipated that follows. That "something" (ASCII) appears to be a solution for the issue at hand.

I think "enter the ASCII system" works perfectly! I would suggest that you start a new paragraph right after that sentence though.

Also, the grammar in your list about the problems of Morse Code is not as smooth as it could be. Try the following sentence instead:

Perhaps the biggest disadvantages are its steep learning curve and its
     difficulty to grasp, which may simply make it not worth your time and effort. Enter
     the ASCII system.
