RIGHTS & ROYALTIES
Management for Publishers

THE STANDARD IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE FOR PUBLISHERS

The Elan Rights and Royalties system is built on three decades of experience developing and delivering software applications for publishers. It represents the culmination of three of the most successful business systems ever created for publishing: The Cat's Pajamas, BookWorks and CISPUB. And a lot more!

This latest release offers publishers of all technical persuasions a robust and feature-rich solution that is built for integration. It has effectively created new benchmarks for what publishers should expect in three key areas: technology, functionality and usability.

In terms of technology, this is a 100% browser-based application. No plug-ins, Java applets or other "web-enabled" work-arounds. It is based on the latest release of the .NET framework and provides out-of-the-box integration with any modern accounting and order processing systems. Customers have the option of deployment on SQL Server, Oracle or the new SQL Server Express - a free database system for small businesses. It will run natively on any client platform that can run the latest version of Internet Explorer or Firefox, which includes both PCs and MACs.

Functionally, Rights & Royalties is based on our experience with hundreds royalties implementations. It incorporates all of the Rights & Royalties functionality found in our current systems as well as a long list of additional items built to address anticipated and emerging needs. It not only covers all of the bases for book and music publishers, but also includes a number of forward thinking and innovative features, such as fractional content sales, where a publisher may wish to sell things like chapters or smaller pieces of larger works.

The User Experience leverages the very latest in web technologies, providing a smooth and clean interface that is not like anything you are likely to have seen before. Everything about the interface is geared towards workflow processes, intelligently anticipating what you need to do and putting it right in front of you.
