Take Control of Processing Your Royalties-- The Most Comprehensive Royalties System is Now Available as a Hosted Solution
February 7, 2006. VISTA International, the leading supplier of software solutions and services to the publishing industry, today announced the launch of a new hosted application service for royalties. For the first time, independent publishers have the opportunity to use the same functionality found at major publishers, in a hosted environment, completely managed by VISTA's publishing experts. Now smaller publishers can protect their critical author relationships by providing accurate and timely reports with flexible payment and statement options, as well as decrease operating expenses with accurate cash flow forecasting and earnings amortization calculations.
VISTA's author2readerTM hosted Royalties solution combines the same high end features as those enjoyed by major publishers of capturing, maintaining and distributing royalties data, ensuring authors are paid accurately on time and according to contract. By using a hosted environment, publishers can focus more time on the business of publishing, leaving information technology activities to VISTA experts.
Benefits include:
€¢ Eliminate purchasing and maintaining an IT infrastructure
€¢ Simplify complex financial relationships between multiple authors, editors or contributors
€¢ Control returns and future advance recoveries at the book, author or contract level
€¢ Instantly calculate unlimited formulas for each author, group of authors, payee and contract
€¢ Detailed drill-down queries and reporting
€¢ Sophisticated reporting and data analysis
The author2reader hosted royalties solution is currently available and installed at multiple locations throughout the
Europe and North America.
