Hi: I'm searching for a solution to tracking subscriptions to an online / print magazine (=http://www.pracrisk.com). Currently done in a bunch of different places (an accounting program, a spreadsheet with about 15 worksheets). Not surprisingly it's terribly inefficient, inconsistent and inaccurate. We are in the middle of developing a custom solution in Access with an in-house developer (company-Aon). But it's so tough to spicify and communicate our needs and wants and have them show up in the custom application.
The toughest part: (briefly) we want to automate the invoicing process. Send out first notice renewal subscription notices 3 months before expiration, second notices 2 months, etc. It seems like I get these all the time from the magazines I belong to. Does anyone have any advice for me? Or potential source of an existing application that may fit our needs? Big accounting programs like MAS90 seem inappropriate and difficult for our subscription manager to learn (1 person manages about 1000 subscribers, this isn't a big magazine). Off the shelf pc accounting programs don't seem to fit and I couldn' t find a sample on internet that looked promising. Thanks for listening, Paul Cross ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
