Introduce the Baseline Foundation Concept

“Publishing is a business. Writing may be art, but publishing, when all is said and done, comes down to dollars.”     

Nicholas Sparks

To build any great architecture whether the pyramids or the great bridges required the right foundation. The foundation for small and medium enterprises with aspirations to grow in the book publishing industry is increasingly the All-in-One solution.

As we’ve shown in the previous blog for this series the SAL R/3 All-in-One solution is an affordable solution for the small and medium size enterprise in the world of book publishing.

All-in-One baseline gives access to the full power and scope of the SAP R/3 product including the finance, logistics and analytical capabilities enjoyed by some of the world’s largest and most diverse organisations.

Other ERP offerings in the SME market, including SAPs own Business One; do not offer this same opportunity.

From the All-in-One starting point the creation of tailored vertical industry solutions is a roadmap that is fully understood by G3 Global

For Book Publishers the next steps may be to expand the solution vertically to embrace the range of scenarios that fall under the headings of subscriptions or series sales for example; or horizontally to move into the realm of intellectual property and customer relationship management.

Beyond that the aim may be to address the rights and metadata requirements emerging from the growth of digital business; or to the heights of royalty calculations, recoupments and statement rendering as made accessible in G3 Global’s own Intellectual Property Ledger offering.

The route you take will be driven by the direction of your company’s growth and paths may vary. The component based approach behind both SAPs and G3 Global’s response to the market gives confidence that your journey will be fully supported.
