Custom Software Development

Flowchart

We pride ourselves on the functionality and flexibility of our software. However, sometimes requirements aren't fully addressed by existing versions. We're always willing to discuss developing our software – whether it's relatively minor such as adapting some specific functionality, adjusting the user interface or writing a routine to exchange data with another system; a larger task like writing a new module to provide totally new functionality; or developing a completely new application or interface.

  • enter and edit rich information about your books online or import it from other systems.
  • automatically disseminate this to trade partners and bibliographic data agencies such as Bowker and Nielsen.
  • generate marketing materials quickly and easily - AI sheets, catalogues, order forms, price lists, emails etc.
  • use the very flexible workflow scheduling tool to manage key processes such as producing new titles, sales & marketing activities etc.

Our own information publishing division, Oxmill Publishing produces, supports, markets and sells subscriptions to a range of specialised databases on CD-ROM, DVD and the Internet.
