Centralised reporting
SAMS acts as a centralised data store, so you get a single view of all your customer data across multiple products and platforms. SAMS management and reporting tools enable you to easily identify lapsed, expiring, unrenewed and inactive subscriptions to maximise or reopen revenue streams.
SAMS makes it easy to cross-sell, up-sell and measure the success of free trials and other campaigns. At the same time SAMS helps you stay up to date effortlessly by sending reports directly to your inbox.
Reports include:
Expiring and unrenewed subscriptions Conversions from free trials
Inactive subscriptions Ad hoc data reporting Duplicate IP addresses Customer data changes Turnaways/data
Institutional reporting
The SAMS provision of COUNTER 4 usage statistics enables usage reporting in a consistent, credible and compatible way. This allows you to provide great customer service for institutional users, aiding their planning of resources. In addition, you can gain more insight into user behaviour and purchasing patterns, helping you to steer your sales and marketing efforts more effectively.
Integration
There is no reason for an authentication system to be tied to a particular platform solution. This is why we built SAMS to work with any publishing platform. SAMS enables you to manage multiple products across multiple platforms from multiple vendors. It integrates seamlessly with Scolaris but works just as well with third party platforms.
Customisation
SAMS can be customised to meet the exact needs of your business. New fields are easily added to account and subscription records, providing extra detail where needed. It’s simple to integrate with third-party systems including financial, marketing and fulfilment systems. Choose SAMS and you’ll have the best of both worlds: the best-in-class, out of the box product, teamed with the best custom development expertise in the industry.
Future focus
Mobile access
The SAMS Roaming Passport offers users the ability to carry institutional subscriptions outside the physical constraints of IP ranges. This gives users the freedom to access content from a wide variety of locations using mobiles, tablets and laptops, driving up usage and renewals and building loyalty.
Direct sales
With library budgets under pressure, selling access directly to students and researchers is becoming increasingly important. SAMS ecommerce features enable you to sell products in addition to institutional subscriptions. This allows you to extend revenue opportunities while building direct relationships with end users.
Roadmap
Through our S3UG user group and regular user consultation, you’ll benefit from being part of a large community of scholarly publishers. Your ideas and feedback contribute to the
improvement of the product via a defined roadmap and regular feature upgrades. These upgrades enable you to stay ahead of your competitors and face the future with confidence.
“We are very pleased with our
