MERRIMAC PLUS

MerrimacPlus is a comprehensive program for publishers to keep track of their businesses in one place. Everything from administration of Classified and Display advertising to Newsstand and Delivery Management to Accounting to Payroll to Direct Mail is included in this one package... The company started in 1987, when the publisher of the weekly newspaper in the Brooklyn, NY neighborhood where Tom and Kate Vachon lived at the time asked Tom to help them rescue their mailing list from a dying computer. Personal computers were becoming affordable for small businesses, but there was little software available to help owners automate their operations in a way that was specific to their needs. After he successfully rescued the circulation data, the newspaper owners asked Tom to develop a comprehensive management system for their operation. Drawing on his program development experience as well as on accounting programs he had written for other clients, he developed the beginnings of the system..
