The story

The problem

A newspaper needs to serve both subscribers and business advertisers. Copying subscriber details into the advertising system would create duplicate records, extra administration, and a greater risk of conflicting customer information.

What it delivers

Subscribers identify themselves with a subscription number, review details retrieved from the subscriber service, and place an advert for free. Companies enter their own billing details and receive the standard 40 SEK advertising price automatically.
