Product Details

OSi-AdConnections™ is designed to fit the needs of today's user while having the power to integrate and quickly provide solutions for the changing needs of the individual user, station and group as a whole. We also realize the need to create opportunities for more meaningful connection with your advertisers. Thus, we built a flexible, centralized, XML and browser-based application.

Flexible
The flexibility of OSi-AdConnections enables your IT department to determine whether to use our hosted facility to house your data, or place that data behind your firewall in a “sealed box” solution. Access to OSi-AdConnections is via your network, not through the Internet.

Instant Real-Time Communication
OSi-AdConnections’ browser-based technology offers immediate, real-time access to avails, packages, pending and report features. It is accessible from anywhere, anytime. The OSi-AdConnections relational database also affords you the opportunity to make changes that are immediately accessible to your sales team without disrupting workflow.

Design
We custom-design your system to ensure that your data is secure — there are no system overloads, downtime or waiting for installations or upgrades. There is also no competition for computer access while books are loaded or inventory is being maintained.

Instant Response and Access
With OSi-AdConnections, your sales team can respond immediately to out-of-area clients, last-minute requests or changes for avails and packages, and email them along with your favorite one-sheets. It's as easy as attaching and opening a file. Our browser-based interface provides access from any secured computer.

Development and Upgrades
OSi-AdConnections technology shortens the development cycle, allows for custom development and provides all system upgrades available on a continuous basis.

Client Services
We believe that “added value” comes from providing something extra. Our client service has become the new standard in broadcast vendor relationships. We are committed to offering our clients:

Exceptional Service
From the moment your station signs on with OSi-AdConnections™, our Client Services team is there to assist with every aspect of the process. We custom-build every station's site, complete with inventory, rating data, agency advertiser information and rate cards.

Unlimited Online Training
Our browser-based business model provides unlimited access to training and client services.

Unrestricted Access to Client Services
At Harris, we know that a missed deadline is a missed opportunity. That is why we are there every step of the way to assure that OSi-AdConnections users not only meet their deadlines, but also exceed the buyer's expectations with proposals that are comprehensive, professional and accurate.

Commitment
We are committed to listening to your ongoing needs and to designing features that exceed them. We are committed to working with you and ensuring you gain a competitive advantage!
