EPRS (EBSCO Publishing Royalty System)
SITech has developed a state-of-the-art accounting system used for royalty tracking, and
payment fulfillment to owners of copyrights of published materials (including those within
complex documents). The system performs tracking and accounting of royalties for materials
used in EBSCO Publishing products and creates printed and/or electronic reports on a
regular basis.
Every year, the EPRS system is able
to save EBSCO a significant amount of royalties by its ability to calculate precise payment
calculations according to specific conditions of license agreements with copyrights holders.
In addition, EPRS provides powerful tools for analysis of the relation between EBSCO
Publishing income from product distribution, and royalties for materials included in those
products. Also, the system allows income and payments trend analysis to be performed.
