Subscriptions Management
Drive recurring revenue growth in a multi-platform environment
Effective subscriptions management has always been pivotal to print publishers, but the proliferation of digital channels, the need to bundle print and digital offerings, and the implications of digital fulfilment and access control have raised the bar for subscription management systems.
The engagement opportunities offered by online channels – incremental registration leading to subscription-lite, self-serviced corporate subscriptions, and more personalised but automated renewal campaigns – simply demand more of the underlying platform. The challenge becomes even greater in an environment where seamless integration with other business critical systems such as CRM is now a necessity rather than a luxury. And all the time the system still needs to drive an efficient print fulfilment process.
Only a platform developed specifically to combine all these diverse elements can meet this challenge.

Our comprehensive subscriber management capabilities can handle any type of subscription content bundle, combining digital and print offerings, managing registration and ecommerce sales, supporting digital access management and print fulfilment, while maintaining a single customer view and segmented database, to support marketing and renewals campaigns.
Within a bundle each element can be sold with different timelines, entitlements, tax implications and attribution.
System users can create simple packages for single subscribers or complex multi-product bundles for metered or unlimited usage corporate and institutional access deals. And now it’s possible to give control of managing seat allocation and content entitlements back to your customers with corporate subscription self-service capability.
