Exercising Your Rights
Publishers would be well-served to look for a rights and royalties developer that can offer more than technical support for the software.
“We’ve encountered many situations in which we discovered, as we began working with the customer, that royalties payments, for example, weren’t as accurate as they should have been,” Vista’s Reiss says. “And we helped them with the workflow, to ensure that the terms and rules laid out in their royalty contracts match the rules they’re creating in the royalties system. Just recently, we worked with a mid-sized publisher that simply didn’t have the expertise or the time to input all of their data into the system, so we actually reviewed the contracts with the customer and entered all of their information into the system for them.”
