Pay-Per-View

The Access Management and Billing (AMB) module in Advantage allows you to offer whatever type of access agreement you choose, including pay-per-view. This model allows you to charge readers each time they choose to access your content.

Number of Downloads

The Access Management and Billing (AMB) module in Advantage allows you to offer access to content based on a specified number of log-ins or downloads, with no limit. A customer may be allowed to log in ten times, for example, and such log-ins may be spread across a week's time or over several years.

Time-Based Access

The Access Management and Billing (AMB) module in Advantage allows you to offer access to content for a specified time period of your choice. The customer may log in as many times as they want to within the active time period. When the time period is drawing to a close, you can promote them to renew their access.

Issue-Based Access

Many Advantage clients offer magazines and newsletters in both print and digital form. Advantage manages both with equal ease, and of any issue frequency you choose to offer.

Electronic Distribution

Do you send the content to your subscribers instead of directing them to your website? Advantage can handle this type of distribution as well. Logic to determine eligibility is reviewed based on your desired frequency.

Consortia Sales

Advantage is the only tool you need to handle sales to large consortia or other site licenses. Determination of holdings, tracking of migrations and additional sites, pricing and weighting options and allocation of income is all at your fingertips to both establish and track. Pricing models are constantly changing, and Advantage is designed to handle them. If your organization depends on the "big deal" Advantage is the solution for you to manage entitlements, site licenses and agreements with consortia members.
