Maney
Publishing Chooses Advantage ACS is pleased to welcome Maney Publishing, located in Leeds, England, into the Advantage community. Maney Publishing began in 1900 as a specialist typesetting and printing company. Maney services evolved over many years and they currently provide publication and fulfillment services for journals and books. Their customers are academic societies, their editors, authors, and members. The majority of Maney journals are available online. Maney's increasing growth fueled a need for a comprehensive
fulfillment system that could combine several disparate databases
into one. They also needed a system that could assist them in managing
their marketing and online fulfillment operations. These requirements
led them to Advantage as their system of choice. Maney
plans to begin live operations on Advantage this summer.
Larry Kleber: Not so. "Larry is very focused on the delivery of our software. He
is not happy unless the client is happy. He is willing to go the
extra mile to do something right," says Ray Zick,
Larry's supervisor.
Input
Added to 'Ad' Module ACS welcomed a number of client representatives to Ann Arbor on May 6 and 7 for a Client Forum focused on the Advertising module. We have found that the “forum” format works best to involve you in identifying the best direction forward for an area of the system – in this case the Advertising module. Participants
from Kalmbach Publishing, Motor Information
Systems, and The Taunton Press were
able to attend. Other clients (Oxford University Press and Traplet
Publications) while not able to attend in person, provided
input on features that are important to them.
Even More Highlights of 2008R2 2008r2 is full of new features and functionality. Here is a sampling of the great things you'll find in Advantage 8R2, available now. Click here to read highlights on these topics:
Is
Book Club Right For You? There's a lot of competition out there. So, let's hold on to those customers we have and move them into a more loyal and active relationship with our organization, our web site, our content, our interests. How to do that? Well, one way is to get them involved
with a continuity series. A continuity series allows customers
to purchase a set of related products that are released to them
sequentially over a period of time. Customers join a club (they
become members) by responding to your offers to join, or you can
select people and automatically add them. Continuity programs give
you the opportunity to periodically remind customers of your brand;
the customer gets more exposure to your content and they get to “belong” to
a club. Throw in some premiums and it's a recipe for happy,
loyal customers.
Recently, we presented Webinars on the following topics:
The scheduled June Webinars are:

Major
Projects in High Gear The ACS Major Projects team works primarily on
implementations and new business conversions. During these projects,
we cover a lot of ground in a short period of time. For those of
you who have worked on projects with my team, you're likely all
too familiar with the long hours and tight deadlines we all frequently
work through (with the help of plenty of caffeine).
Advantage allows you to transfer credits from one customer to
another. This allows you to apply payments from one customer to
invoices of another customer. |

their business. Their use of Advantage has
grown several times over, as has the size of their
publishing business. With each Advantage upgrade,
information details contained in the hundreds of
pages of software release notes offer links, although
sometimes quite subtle ones, to new business opportunity
through enhanced software. The links are easy to
overlook, and the result can be missed opportunities
to leverage Advantage for major business
benefit.
