Global Turnkey

Summary

Global Turnkey System's UNISON software is designed to handle customer service, order fulfillment, subscription management, inventory, sales, marketing, promotion, royalties, billing, and financial management.

UNISON, is a scalable, seamlessly integrated fulfillment solution that allows publishers to develop world-class eCommerce, intranet, and extranet environments. It runs on an Oracle or SQL Server database engine.

GUI front-end for ease of navigation. Strong kit build/unbuild functionality.

Strong circulation management, college adoption tracking and telemarketing capabilities along with an open source philosophy that allows for easy integration with other 3rd party software such as Oracle Financials and Peoplesoft.

Our Opinion: An excellent choice for publishers requiring software that can handle 100 to 600+ simultaneous users.

Recently chosen by the Bureau of National Affairs after an in depth RFP process. During this process BNA had over 20 people visit existing Global customers, working at GTS looking at the code and interviewing employees, analyzing the technology (with assistance from the Gartner Group), reviewing their future software development plans and reviewing their support systems. At BNA Global Turnkey will be handling the needs of 400+ concurrent users.

Tip: When evaluating new software solutions follow the example of BNA and take the time to thoroughly understand the software and the vendor.
