The Challenge

iPUB is the best solution for the high volume of transactions in your business. Transactions must be tracked at the single-unit level for inventory, sales, orders and royalties, and all of these activities must be rolled into financial reporting.   Software that manages the complex nature of your business is exactly what you, your authors, and your customers demand, and it is just what iPUB provides.

Legacy ERP publisher software was – and still is – based on old and now obsolete mainframe and proprietary technologies. It has been refurbished, reshaped, ported and designed to look like a Graphical User Interface, but still has the original framework beneath it. Because of its origins and years of patchwork updates, that base technology has reduced scalability – especially considering that most of it was developed before the arrival of the commercial Internet – and all of the other issues associated with proprietary database systems.

As publishing has evolved, with such issues as management of electronic, audio and other editions as well as the selling of rights at the paragraph and chapter level, the need for an improved and more easily implemented business management and planning solution increases. This makes the challenge of keeping old systems modern very difficult and expensive.

The publishing industry is looking for:

• A scalable solution with the tools to support mid sized and smaller publishers
• Native support for Microsoft SQL-Server, Oracle or IBM databases
• Browser based technology and Internet ready access
• Deploy ability as a private network solution
• Cost-effective, rapid support for service and upgrades
• Easier adoption of new technology
• Easier integration with existing technology
• Rapid implementation
• All at a reasonable price
