Fadel Partners has released Intellectual Property Management (IPM) Suite version 4.0, the next generation in enterprise class software solutions to handle intellectual property.
The new release builds upon Fadel’s product line, expanding existing feature sets, adding new modules and extending enterprise plug-and-play capabilities.
IPM Suite 4.0, a Java J2EE web based enterprise IPM product, allows media, entertainment and publishing companies to manage the end-to-end business flows of IP rights licensing, royalty posting and participations payout.
The J2EE foundation provides standalone enterprise capabilities such as party and contract management, dynamic workflow routing, customizable fields and open integration capabilities with tier-one ERP systems, such as SAP, Oracle Applications and others.
The enhanced J2EE capabilities of this new release provide support for multiple enterprise middleware vendor offerings including IBM WebSphere, Oracle Weblogic, Red Hat JBoss and others.
The new release adds to the solution’s flexibility by providing Fadel’s customers with implementation options that make sense for their business.
In addition, the suite’s modular approach allows customers to take a phased approach in upgrading or replacing legacy systems.
The IPM Suite 4.0 introduces a new product in the line – Participant Portal, which represents the first in a series of outward-facing IPM portals Fadel is developing.
The Participant Portal module allows IP publishers to communicate with authors, content owners and other partners, while delivering PDF and web-based participation statements to them in real time via the internet.
The portal also provides a conduit for payees to register for electronic payments.
