THE HIGH PLAINS JOURNAL INSTALLS PBS MEDIAPLUS® BUSINESS SOLUTIONS
Robust functionality at an affordable price
Minneapolis, MN – January 11, 2007 – Publishing Business Systems, North America’s leading source for integrated enterprise–wide newspaper business software systems, today announced that The High Plains Journal has licensed PBS MediaPlus® General Ledger, MediaPlus® Accounts Payable, MediaPlus® Payroll and MediaPlus® Benefits from the company’s MediaPlus® Business solutions suite.
The High Plains Journal (www.hpj.com) is a weekly agricultural news magazine published in Dodge City, Kan., with a circulation of 51,000 in 10 states in the Great Plains region. It covers farming and ranching topics, including wheat, corn, soybeans, sorghum, hay, cotton, as well as cattle and hogs. The magazine also features articles on farm and ranch management, equipment and agribusiness.
“We reviewed several accounting packages recommended by our accounting firm, but weren’t impressed with them,” said Jeff Myers, director, Information Technology. “It was clear that PBS solutions were far superior to those of their competitors. What’s more, much of the functionality we desired came standard with PBS; when we were able to find this same functionality in other packages, it cost extra. The bottom line: PBS gave us more bang for our buck.”
Myers also praised PBS for using up–to–date technology. “Because PBS products are so well designed, they’re easy to use. In the past, answering our controller’s questions was a chore. Now, with MediaPlus Accounts Payable, for instance, we can quickly view specific invoices, including the amount and who has signed off on them.”
‘We’ve worked hard with our development partner, Software Business Systems, to ensure our MediaPlus Business solutions suite really does meet the needs of the newspaper industry,” said Ron Bernier, CEO, PBS. “We’ve been setting the industry standard in product development for more than 30 years, and hundreds of newspapers use MediaPlus Business solutions to keep the financial heart of their organizations running smoothly and efficiently.”
The MediaPlus Business solutions suite is available with Progress database compatibility.
