Klopotek announced their software as a service offering at Book Expo 2009.
Essentially, publishers can now purchase on-line access to Klopotek applications - such as rights and royalties, editorial planning and title marketing information. What sets Klopotek's offering apart from other SAS solutions is the breath of Klopotek's offering. They have a wide range of optional modules that are ready to go. You can start with Rights and Royalties and add-on production management at a later time.
This SAS offering also has a pre-configured selection of software settings that speeds up the implmenetnation. A small press, using a standard configuration can be up and running in under a month.
Klopotek's SAS offering makes this solution, previously marketed to companies with sales of $30M+, an attractive option for publishers with sales of $10M or more.
FYI, the following applications are available now for Klopotek SaaS:
ReplyDeleteTitle Management & Product Marketing
Editorial & Production
Contracts, Rights & Royalties
All can be used independently and / or in any combination.
All come with the preconfigured Klopotek best practices.
