Werner Fischer, the former Executive Vice President of Springer Science+Business Media, has been appointed as Member of Klopotek’s Management Board as of 1 September 2008.

With more than 3 million members in Germany (end of 2007), Der Club Bertelsmann is one of the largest book and media clubs in the world. In a joint project between arvato systems, Der Club and Klopotek, the legacy system at Der Club was replaced with Klopotek’s PPM (Product Planning and Management system). The project was finished within 5 months and the first payments have been processed already.

Moody Publishers, the publishing arm of Moody Bible Institute, has implemented the Klopotek Product Planning & Management (PPM) module from Global Turnkey Systems (GTS) to improve process flow for acquisitions, production, royalties and rights management operations.

Having implemented Klopotek’s Product Planning and Management (PPM) module from Global Turnkey Systems (GTS), each of Moody Publishers’ four initial business reports now derives data entirely from PPM.

The implementation of Klopotek’s Product Planning and Management system (PPM) at CRC Press, part of the Taylor & Francis Group of companies and located in Boca Raton, Florida, has been completed successfully. This means that Taylor & Francis Group now works with PPM at all locations worldwide.

The Office of the Publisher of the World Bank based in Washington DC went live with Klopotek’s Contracts, Rights & Royalties software in March 2008 following the successful implementation of the Editorial & Production software in February.

Taylor & Francis Group was voted overall 2nd place in the Publisher of the Year Awards held recently at the 37th Annual Conference of APSBG, the Academic, Professional & Specialist Booksellers Group of the Publishers Association held in Grantham, UK.
