Upgrades to Mediaspan Production, Circulation Software

Posted
By: E&P Staff MediaSpan Media Software, Ann Arbor, Mich., and Melbourne, Fla., has released new versions of its ProductionManagerPro (version 4.3) and CirculationPro (version 3.6), with features that improve automation, enhance reporting options and increase processing speed.

ProductionManagerPro has added more automated features to make ad tracking faster, more powerful and more efficient, from order entry through archiving. Version 4.2 added compatibility with Quark 7 and Multi-Ad Creator 8, along with other enhancements. A new feature is generic check-in and check-out of ad documents, where any type of ad for print, Web banner, flash and other audio or video can be created and tracked by ProductionManagerPro with standard tools such as Photoshop, FinalCutPro, Macromedia Flash, and more. ProductionManagerPro version 4.3 adds new plug-ins to work with Adobe InDesign CS 3.

Changes in CirculationPro, version 3.6, aimed to improve auditing procedures and accuracy and validation. A feature now tracks each subscriber in full detail for every day in history. Another function can reprint subscriber data, route lists, and mail subscribers for any date in the archive history. Expanded auditing and detailed tracking and reporting make auditing easier and more accurate.

The latest version of ProductionManagerPro's Java-based server works on either Mac OS X or Windows, with the database running on the MySQL Pro 4.1 platform. CirculationPro is now equipped to exploit the increased speed from using MySQL.
