E-Sheets II - New Interface Highlights Update to Electronic Tearsheet Service

Quincy, MA, March 9, 2007 - MerlinOne today announced E-Sheets® II, a major update to the industry's leading hosted electronic tearsheets system. The heart of E-Sheets II is an innovative and cutting-edge user interface that adds new features while making the service even faster and easier to use.

"We have regularly added features to E-Sheets since its introduction in 2001. Many features directly incorporate ideas from our user group. As you would expect, in almost 6 years of field experience with E-Sheets our users have expanded their visions of how to use electronic tearsheets throughout the paper. The result of this collaboration is a whole new direction for the user interface," said John Harrison, Vice President of Sale & Marketing at MerlinOne.

"Our E-Sheets II developments address three areas: First, E-Sheets II offers a new feature-rich user interface with a modern, cutting-edge look and feel, yet it is clear and simple enough to operate without manuals or extensive instruction. Second, E-Sheets II helps newspapers customize and use the site to increase brand identity, promotional opportunities and customer communications. And finally, E-Sheets II's searching and management tools let users organize, research and find ads and explore buying and usage patterns," said Harrison.

MerlinOne introduced the E-Sheets II electronic tearsheets system to the E-Sheets Users Group (ESUG) in February 2007. While each newspaper will have their own schedule, advertisers should see the new interface rolling out over 60-90 days starting April 2007.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is already live with E-Sheets II. "Yesterday, after we spoke about my dilemma with the client who needed clearer tearsheets, I was so thankful that you allowed me access to the new [E-Sheets] website. This new project is phenomenal. I know our clients are going to appreciate the user-friendly site to locate and download any tearsheet that they need. …congratulations on choosing such a great product. Thanks again – you saved us some potential write-offs," said Shanda Mathis, Classified Advertising Assistant at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Since 2001, the E-Sheets electronic tearsheets system has been growing in use and acceptance throughout the newspaper industry. It is the best means of eliminating the costly and cumbersome process of tearing and mailing paper tearsheets.

E-Sheets II will be shown at the America East Show & Conference in Hershey, PA., March 12-15 at the MerlinOne booth, #83.
