SAP's book publishing software offers two unique advantages when compared to other solutions.
First, it offers the most highly customizable software solution available for book publishers that want a customized solution. When Random House realized they a customized rights solution for their unique needs they were able to construct a customized solution in SAP. Standardized software for larger publishers; such as IBS Bookmaster or Klopotek, does not offer this flexibility.
Second, SAP is multilingual. Workstations in Japan, Germany, United States, Russia and France can access a centralized database in their own language. This feature allows a multinational publishing company to standardize their operations around a single solution that provides management with real time information on their global operations.
That said, in our experience, SAP is best suited for large book publishing companies with sales or $100M+ USD. Why? In the past we have suggested that multilnational publishers with sales of $30M to $75M contact SAP. SAP was not interested in dealing with them, and recommended that they seek other solution providers.
