Klopotek's Information ViewPoint
Two weeks ago we saw Klopotek’s Information ViewPoint product and were amazed. Its modern, easy to use and customizable for the user. In our view, its a clear competitive advantage vs. products offered by other vendors.
What is Information Viewpoint? In a nutshell it’s a web based customizable view of information that users want to see. Users select the fields that they want to see and position them by dragging them on the screen. It has a modern clean look, similar to that of Microsoft Outlook.
An example of a report created using ViewPoint is a Title Revenue Analysis. It shows sales by year with a drill down to sales by month and sales by Order type. You can access it online via the web and control access by user or user group.
Information Viewpoint integrate with most Klopotek modules including; Product Planning and Production, Contracts Rights & Royalties, Book Sales & Distribution, Journal Sales & Distribution, Customer Care Management and Advertising Sales and Management.
For screen shots have a look at the ViewPoint brochure.
A lot of companies focus on adding new features, but they overlook the need to make the information easily accessible to the end-user. From our point of view Klopotek’s management has focused their R&D on information accessibility. We saw this first with Production Cockpit, then Authors Online, Business Objects Universe for Production and now ViewPoint. Its a focus that is really setting their solution apart from the competition.

Acumen Webinar
Today we had the opportunity to view an Acumen webinar of their new features.
Acumen's webinar was different from that of knkPublishing in that they used a fictional business to demonstrate their new functionality.
Thus use of an imaginary business case really made the webinar come alive for attendees and lead to a lively question and answer session at the end of the demo.
