Provo, UT (PRWEB) September 20, 2004 --- Sandlot today announced the release of EclipseNet 6.1 Update 1. This free update delivers the latest subscription management updates and innovations from Sandlot, and adds support for Oracle 9i expanding EclipseNets compatibility with common enterprise environments. The update is available via Sandlots support site.

Update 1 with Oracle support is an important milestone in delivering on our goal to help customers support their subscription system without disrupting their current IT environment," said Robb Taylor, Sandlot President. We made a promise to customers that Oracle support would follow quickly on the heels of the EclipseNet 6.1 release in July. Update 1 delivers on that promise and more."

During the worldwide rollout of Update 1, Sandlot will distribute it to customers through downloads. The easiest way for current EclipseNet users to get the update is simply to navigate to Sandlots web support site (http://www.sandlot.com/support/SupportLogin.html) The download is available immediately, via FTP, to customers with current maintenance agreements.

Corporations that need to deliver subscription-based products or services, such as print and digital media publishers and online service providers, use EclipseNet to manage a wide variety of subscription offerings and reduce risk of noncompliance with accounting revenue-recognition regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley and related international accounting standards.

Update 1 Provides Oracle Support and Streamlines Subscriber Interactions for EclipseNet 6.1 Customers

EclipseNet 6.1 Update 1 was designed by Sandlot explicitly to ensure support for Oracle customers and to further improve interactions between customer service representatives and subscribers. The updates and enhancements in Update 1 focus on three main areas:

• Certification for Oracle -- Update 1 establishes support for the Oracle 9i platform. This means simpler setup and administration for Oracle shops.

• Streamlined Data Entry -- Update 1 improves customer order and demographic updates and improves data entry template functionality on certain customer data fields. These changes allow customer service representatives to spend less time adding new customers and updating existing records.

• Improved handling of refunds -- Update 1 improves handling of subscriber refunds made in non-base currencies making calculations based on exchange rates that existed at the time of payment rather than current exchange rates.

Additional improvements to credit card authorizations and back issues are also included in Update 1. For more information, contact Sandlot at (800) 769-7638.
