New York, Nov. 21, 2005 /PRNewswire/

In addition to implementing Oracle CRM Sales, Configurator, Contracts and Accounts Receivable, Fadel Partners will build royalty management software to help calculate and track earned royalties and overages. Fadel Partners designed this solution to meet the global licensing needs of publishing, media and entertainment companies and has licensed the right from Marvel to re-sell the RRM software to other prospects and clients.

"Fadel Partners used a structured implementation methodology to help identify and document our business requirements," said Kenneth West, Executive Vice President and CFO at Marvel. "As a result, we chose Fadel Partners to implement an innovative rights and royalties management solution that will help us link and analyze our intellectual property rights information and more efficiently manage our royalty processing."

By automating existing manual processes with the RRM software and the Oracle Applications, Marvel will have structured rights configurations and tracking, efficient royalty processing and an integrated contract management and financials solution. The implementation will provide Marvel with more precise tracking of licensee information and rights utilization, faster posting of incoming royalties and better business insight thru the use of business intelligence and reporting.

"Fadel Partners' RRM software will help Marvel drive future revenue growth through exploiting its intellectual property rights and exploring new trends in the underlying business segments," said Tarek E. Fadel, Founder and CEO of Fadel Partners. "Our RRM software is the first rights and royalties management solution fully integrated with the Oracle platform, allowing Marvel to leverage the power of the Oracle Applications and streamline the creation, configuration and management of intellectual property rights."
