SAM Features

A Web based application

SAM is a true web environment enabling users to use browsers for all their access needs, whether that is placing an ad, looking up their accounts, paying invoices, even sophisticated ad makeup.

The user interface is elegant and can be entirely template-driven so your customers can create great looking ads just by pointing and clicking.

Tight Integration

SAM is tightly integrated with FutureProof, the advertising system and shares most of the administration processes and setup parameters, so you need maintain only one system, not multiple. Information entered via the web is stored in an on-line authentication database to validate users and passwords, thus enabling users to review previous advertisements. Integration is also provided for:

• A Business Logic Server enables the web user to communicate in real time with the FutureProof and CMS3000 Business systems.
• An on-line credit card authorisation service.
• Automatic order and payment confirmation via a standard email facility.

Also for Trade Advertisers

In addition to the features available to private advertisers, SAM is a great solution for Trade customers too.

Using SAM, you can provide your trade advertisers greater control of advert positions. They can choose special positions as defined in the System Managers Module They can either set their own "linage" style advert as per private users, book advertising space only, or submit adverting components or complete artwork Proofs of ads that have been booked, but are yet to run, with facilities to approve, or leave feedback.

Trade customers can also have the cost of their advert added to their account or pay using a credit or debit card Trade customers also have access to their account information and can view statements and invoices on-line. They can also make credit card payments against outstanding invoices.

On-line Advert Make-up

Miles 33 have integrated SAM to the Wave2 Apollo on-line advert make-up system.

This allows trade users to make-up a complete "Production" advert on-line and submit the resulting PDF output direct as complete artwork.
