This intranet system allows David and Charles editorial and production staff to manage their day to day tasks in an easily accessible way.

Each staff member has their own login account with access to specified areas of the system.

The staff have control over the following areas:

  • Authors
  • Books, including editions, co-editions, reprints
  • Book status reporting
  • Publication schedule
  • Print run information
  • Costing information

There is an overall administration facility to manage the staff access and dynamic core areas of the system, such as the selectable drop down boxes.

Quote "At David & Charles Publishers we had a requirement to automate a paper based scheduling and costing system for the production of our books. The paper based system was very labour intensive and time-consuming. We looked at a number of solutions and settled on a browser based Intranet system, which could be accessed by our AppleMacs as well as our PC users both locally and remotely. The project phases were delivered on time and we were delighted with the support and work undertaken by Forgecom who very much partnered us in this development. David and Charles are now the proud owners of a system which is robust, effective and fully supported by Forgecom who have proved, during the last two years, to be a reliable, supportive and friendly supplier to do business with."
