"Jetzt, mit Klopotek, fühlen wir uns für die Verwaltung neuer Produktformen besser gerüstet": Case Study DAV
 Ende Juni 2008 startete der Kick-Off, um beim Deutschen Apotheker Verlag (DAV) die unterschiedlichen Lösungen, die parallel im Einsatz waren, durch die Klopotek Standardsoftware zu ersetzen: ein System mit einer einheitlichen Datenbank und einem zentralen Produkt- und Adresspool. Für die fünf Unternehmen, die zur DAV-Gruppe gehören, wurde eine große Zahl an Klopotek Modulen eingeführt: das Produktplanungs- und -managementsystem (PPM) für die Bereiche Herstellung und Contracts, Rights & Royalties (CR&R), das Vertriebssystem Buch (VBU), das Vertriebssystem Zeitschriften (ABO), das Customer Care Management (CCM) und das Presse-Modul. Die erste Faktur konnte bereits am 7. Januar 2010 erfolgreich durchgeführt werden. In unserem Interview erklärt Projektleiterin Elke Aicher, Leiterin Vertrieb und Logistik, warum die Standardisierung von Verlagsprozessen wichtig wurde, was sie von einem Hersteller von Standardsoftware für die Zukunft erwartet, und worin aus ihrer Sicht die Herausforderungen im Bereich neue Produkte bestehen.

“The reason that we selected Klopotek was because it’s a large system with a very broad range of modules and functionality“: Case Study CPHSS 
 The Supply Chain Committee of the Association of Canadian Publishers (ACP) selected Klopotek as a hosted software solution for its members. Partly funded by the Canadian Heritage Book Publishing Industry Development Program, the companies selecting Klopotek formed an independent company – Canadian Publishers Hosted Software Solutions (CPHSS) – to support and maintain an independent version of the Klopotek publishing solution. The Klopotek solution allowed the participants to replace their existing IT systems with a centralized database solution. In our main interview, Peter Milroy, Director University of British Columbia Press (UBCpress), Vancouver, and Hamish Cameron, IT Manager, University of Toronto Press (UTP), point out the relevance of the ONIX Canadian ‘Gold’ Standard for catalog production and the benefits of a software solution that integrates all aspects of handling contracts, rights & royalties.

“Implementing Klopotek has aided in reporting, so that we can do analysis work to make better-informed decisions on what we do to enhance the market share": Case Study Moody
 Moody Publishers has been working with an integrated version of Global Turnkey Systems’ product UNISON and Klopotek PPM since April 2008. In the middle of 2008, Moody implemented the PPM Product Pool and Business Partner Pool. Since that time, PPM has become the sole repository for maintaining product and author information. In June of 2009, Moody went live with the Production, Scheduling, and Production Cockpit modules, and August saw the beginning of phase 3: implementing Contracts, Rights & Royalties (CR&R). Duane Koenig, Director of Operations, and Gregory Miller, Manager of Business Solutions, explain why this software selection has radically improved many of Moody’s publishing processes, why Klopotek gives them vastly improved ability to monitor all aspects of rights management and payment, and what future plans are with Klopotek.

„Wir wollen Bücher machen und darin investieren, nicht in Hardware“: Case Study Eichborn
 2008 entschied sich Eichborn dazu, die internen Prozesse und die eingesetzte Software auf den Prüfstand zu stellen. Das Ergebnis: In einem 5-monatigen Projekt wurde die bisherige Honorarabrechnung durch die Klopotek CR&R-Lösung (Contracts, Rights & Royalties) ersetzt. Nach dem Erfolg beim Umstieg auf CR&R begann im April 2009 die zweite Projektphase: Die Bereiche Lektorat, Herstellung, Vertrieb, Marketing und Presse gingen im November 2009 komplett auf die Klopotek Lösung. Eichborn ist der Pilotkunde, der die Dienstleistung Klopotek SaaS, Software as a Service, nutzt. Stephan Gallenkamp, Vorstand Eichborn AG, erklärt im Interview, warum die Ablösung der Altsysteme notwendig war, worin die wichtigsten Anforderungen an eine neue Software-Lösung bestanden und warum Eichborn sich für das Klopotek SaaS-Modell entschieden hat.

"The updated interface makes it easy for users to access the powerful functionality contained within the Klopotek solution"
 We quote from the ' Book Publishing Software News' newsletter, September 2009 issue: " New Klopotek User Interface
In August Gregor Wolf, Chief Technology Officer, provided us with an advance screening of Klopotek's new user interface. The new user interface is designed to reduce training time and improve user productivity. Each screen is better organized and less crowded. The menu system is similar to that found in found in Outlook and MS Dynamics. Adjustable panels allow the user to customize the look of their workspace and to view multiple screens at the same time. Administrators can hide tabs and menus based on the user's role. Users can set up their own menus for frequently accessed screens. More importantly, we found that the updated interface makes it easy for users to access the powerful functionality contained within the Klopotek solution."
