HFMUS Selects New Web-Based Atex Advertising Cross Media Solution
Reading, United Kingdom, October 06, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S. (HFMUS), publisher of ELLE, Car and Driver, Road & Track, Woman’s Day and other iconic brands, has chosen the new Atex Advertising system to deliver a new thin-client solution tailored specifically for magazines. HFMUS will use the system to streamline its business process by helping manage all multimedia advertising and customer accounts from the same integrated environment.
“Our brand-centric strategies require a billing system that would empower our sales, marketing and management teams with real time data and intuitive functionality. With Atex Advertising, our users will have as much information as possible at their fingertips,” said Michael Coakley, Director of Solutions Development & Delivery at HFMUS. “The Atex system will enable us to build mash-ups of data from our various business systems into a singular user interface. Our sales, finance and management teams will get a 360-degree view of our advertising customers from forecasting and order-entry right through to production and billing.”
The Atex Advertising solution allows HFMUS to combine information from the Atex advertising and analytics engine with Microsoft Dynamics CRM to create a ‘mash-up’ dashboard selling experience. Depending on the employee, HFMUS can also create specific user experiences based on the individual’s role or job function.
“The integration of Atex Advertising and Microsoft Dynamics CRM provides users with a single environment to simplify complex end-to-end business processes,” said David Montgomery, Atex Chief Technology Officer. “For HFMUS, this combination allows them to capitalize on the benefits of Customer Relationship Management, specifically reduced costs, increased revenue and improved customer satisfaction.”
The Atex Advertising system will also include integration with DoubleClick’s DART for Publishers (DFP) ad serving engine. The DFP interface will allow HFMUS to sell, book and bill multimedia ads simultaneously in any of its publications or websites. Combined digital and print ad packages can be created for customers without adding more steps to the advertising process.
