This is a must do."

In the current issue of Business Excellence, Thomas R. Cutler explored the relationship between a Kaizen event and system integrators. The article, titled, “The Role of Expert System Integrators for Best Practice,” Cutler explained the majority of system integrators in material handling can be described as order-takers. Rather than actively seeking all the possible integrated automation solutions for the end-user customer, products are ordered, delivered, and installed.

A number of papers across the country have either stopped printing newspapers altogether, or reduced the number of days they are printing a paper. Media newspapers using a paywall, are implementing a type of system known as a ‘metered system.’ A metered system uses cookies on an internet browser, whether Firefox, Internet Explorer, or some other platform. The cookies measure visits to the site and the number of stories read, and once a certain number of visits have been made in a month, access to the site is cut off.

Fifty percent of all media will use a paywall by 2015; this is the conclusion of the best-practice paywall solutions report offered free of charge for those media executives requesting the first-of-its-kind data by January 31, 2014 reported Thomas R. Cutler, CEO and publisher of the report.

Effectively executed third party paywall solutions are efficacious, effective, and revenue centers for media outlets in print, radio, and television. This is the conclusion of the best-practice paywall solutions report offered free of charge for those media executives requesting the first-of-its-kind data by January 31, 2014 reported Thomas R. Cutler, CEO and publisher of the report.

Poorly executed media paywalls cost subscribers, listeners, viewers, and advertisers. Horror stories of internally implemented paywalls are rampant and the bottom-line impact significant. Media sources rarely have the IT expertise or the knowledge of pitfalls in the paywall installation process. Just as payroll services are outsourced, so are paywalls.

Readers of on-line daily newspaper are going to have to pay for the privilege. So will listeners of streaming radio. Those journalists that are followed and read with rigor will cost as well. Local newspapers are putting a paywall in place full access to the website. To subscribe to the website often costs $3.00 per week, following a discounted trial period.

“Paywalls are a reality. It is not a matter of whether radio, print, and television media will turn to paywalls to monetize their operations….it is a matter of when this year the paywall will be implemented. The data for the report being issued this Spring has reveals that media outlets that attempt to utilize their own internal IT resources fail and have dire subscriber loss consequences. Paywalls are simply a service that must be outsourced to experts who understand the landmines and pitfalls of such an implementation. The best-practice paywall solutions will be part of the report offered free of charge for those media executives requesting the first-of-its-kind data by January 31, 2014,” reported Thomas R. Cutler.
