Maverick Publishing Specialists and Dublin Six form alliance to take The
AuditorT to market
Companies join forces to fully develop and launch ground breaking, library
side usage logging and holdings verification / monitoring software, The
AuditorT. Full worldwide Beta release announced at the Frankfurt Book Fair.
For Immediate Release.
Maverick Publishing Specialists, the specialist strategic consultancy and
outsource services company for the publishing industry, today unveiled their
new alliance with the rapidly emerging and innovative digital library
services company, Dublin Six ( <http://www.dublinsix.com/>
www.dublinsix.com). Over the next few months, Maverick and Dublin Six will
combine forces and expertise under a new corporate entity designed to fully
develop and launch Dublin Six's groundbreaking library usage logging and
holdings verification software The AuditorT.
Alongside Maverick Publishing Specialists team at the Frankfurt Book Fair
this year, Josh Pyle, CTO and President of Dublin Six, will also be joining
Martin Marlow (Maverick CEO and now also CEO of Dublin Six) to present The
AuditorT and announce its move from Pilot to worldwide Beta release.
Maverick and Dublin Six have been working together for the last year on
developing the supporting commercial models and support infrastructure for
this unprecedented product. The AuditorT, which Dublin Six has had in
initial and pilot development over the last 2 years, is now ready to enter
beta testing and accept new customers on a worldwide scale. The beta phase
will be formally announced at the Frankfurt Book Fair, where Maverick and
Dublin Six will also be talking to organizations that are interested in
investing in The Auditor's final development to commercial launch and
beyond.
The AuditorT, available on a yearly subscription basis, is an innovative
software package designed to dramatically increase time- and
cost-efficiencies for institutional libraries. Installed on an institution's
network, The AuditorT passively monitors all network traffic and makes
libraries aware of every form of content that is being used. It presents
this information in clear and comprehensive COUNTER-style reports. While
libraries usually receive reports from only those publishers with whom they
have a relationship, The Auditor's reports include content from every
publisher on every platform. The AuditorT also reports on content from open
access or free information sources. In addition, The AuditorT far exceeds
the granular level of detail currently available from other solutions on the
market.
Alongside hitherto unavailable levels of usage tracking, The AuditorT also
continuously monitors and verifies the institution's uninterrupted access to
all content for which it has paid (or unpaid) access - instantly and
automatically alerting the library and its users whenever there is a broken
link or other service interruption. This not only supplies invaluable, real
time data to help libraries provide optimum service provision to their
patrons, but also assists them accurately monitor and compare against any
service level agreements they have in place with their content providers.
And as the Auditor software is deliberately designed to monitor all activity
without any active assertion or external calls, it won't artificially
inflate the usage statistics gained.
Speaking of the announcement Josh Pyle, President and CTO Dublin Six, said
"After two years of development and testing, we are excited to be joining
with Maverick to bring this revolutionary new product to market." Martin
Marlow, Principal and CEO Maverick Publishing Specialists, and Dublin Six's
newly instated CEO, further commented, "The AuditorT is a fantastic product.
Designed with the library in mind, it will analyse exact usage patterns to
help librarians and institutions make informed purchase decisions. We're
excited to be working with Dublin Six in this venture and to add our
business infrastructure and customer support expertise to help them bring
this fabulous service to market."
