The Implementation Process
Virtusales has a 16 year successful track record of implementing new publishing software and decoupling legacy systems. Since starting with Hodder Headline in 2000, we have implemented over 100 publishing-related projects to publishers of all sizes across trade, education and academic sectors.
Our dedicated project team consists of publishing experts and technical consultants who work closely with each customer to find an implementation mix that is going to suit their requirements, internal resources and budget.
With Biblio Intelligence, all of our sales are consolidated in one place and I can break them by customer, channel, format and category over time, so that we can monitor different aspects of our sales operation in great detail.
