Access Management (SAMS)

SAMS (Semantico Access Management System) is a comprehensive product suite that provides a flexible and sophisticated approach to managing access control, subscription renewals, reporting and contact information across multiple product sites.

As publishers internet offerings and online publishing solutions proliferate and become more complex they can easily become more difficult to manage. Information duplicated in too many places may not be maintained, leading to inefficiencies and lost opportunities. In creating SAMS, Semantico have addressed these issues by centralising the access and subscription management in one place for all of a publisher's product sites irrespective of the product site developer.

SAMS' effective access control and subscription management system is the key to achieving the business objectives of an online publishing strategy. As well as providing an easily managed gateway for librarians and other administrators, it provides publishers with a window on online activity for their products, keeping them under control and revealing new business opportunities that can quickly be exploited, particularly where content has been built on our flexible SIPP platform.

Proven solution

SAMS is a low risk and proven solution which has already been successfully deployed by major international publishers and manages the access control of some of the world's busiest and most successful product sites.

It affords a great deal of flexibility in setting up new products and services with a variety of business models without having to re-engineer the technology that delivers your online products and services.

Gatekeeper for legacy sites

SAMS also provides flexible and open links to an organisation's financial systems and to third parties such as transaction providers to support ecommerce payments.

For existing or legacy product sites, Semantico has recently introduced the SAMS Gatekeeper, which significantly reduces the cost of developing access control functionality on a product site.

The SAMS Gatekeeper enables product site developers to quickly enjoy the benefits of SAMS. In particular existing product sites can quickly and simply be brought under SAMS access control as gatekeeper acts as a proxy between end users and the product site. This architecture significantly reduces or removes entirely the need to re-invest in existing products in order to bring them under the control of SAMS.
