CHICAGO, Ill. —Independent Publishers Group (IPG) is pleased to announce the debut of its new statement portal created in partnership with leading royalty management specialist MetaComet Systems.
The portal, which launched on February 10th, 2022, provides IPG’s client publishers with fast and easy access to current and past monthly statements with full transaction details. It is a powerful addition to publishers’ business intelligence, providing them with the best-ever oversight of key financial data in a clean and easy-to-understand layout.
