It covers editorial workflow, the reader-facing site, digital access, the paywall, digital subscriptions, and subscriber records, while AccountScout runs the commercial side. It is a partner product Fake Brains resells, packages with AccountScout, and supports - our CMS partner of more than a dozen years.",{"question":51,"answer":52},"How does a newspaper accept classified ads online?","Pair Foundry with ClassifiedScout so readers browse categories and place classified ads directly on your public website. ClassifiedScout handles the online ordering and presentment, and the orders flow into AccountScout instead of arriving by CSV or phone.",{"question":54,"answer":55},"What software lets advertisers pay invoices and approve proofs online?","That is the AccountScout Advertiser Portal, not Foundry. Foundry runs the reader-facing website and subscriptions; the Advertiser Portal lets advertisers view invoices, pay by card or ACH, and approve proofs, with payments crediting back in AccountScout.",{"question":57,"answer":58},"What does a newspaper CRM do?","A newspaper CRM tracks advertisers, ad orders, run schedules, and sales activity so reps and managers work from one advertiser record. That lives in AccountScout; Foundry handles the separate reader and subscriber relationship on the public site.",{"question":60,"answer":61},"Can I run Foundry in the cloud?","Yes. Foundry runs in the cloud, so there is no server to maintain in your building. Your public website, CMS, paywall, and subscriber records sit with one support relationship rather than two.",{"question":63,"answer":64},"How does Foundry fit with AccountScout?","Foundry is added alongside AccountScout and configured to sit beside it, so the reader-facing website and the commercial workflow line up. Fake Brains resells and supports Foundry, which means one relationship to call rather than two. We walk through where it fits during a consultation.",{"question":66,"answer":67},"What should I look for when choosing newspaper software?","Look for software built for how publishers actually work, with the advertising and reader sides connected instead of stitched together from separate vendors. Fake Brains has built newspaper software, and only newspaper software, in-house in Colorado since 1991 - that is AccountScout. For the public website and subscribers we partner with Foundry, resell it, and support it, so both sides still answer to one vendor relationship.",{"question":69,"answer":70},"Does Foundry handle ad production or InDesign layout?","No. Production, proofing, pagination, PageScout, AdScout, DAM, and InDesign workflows all belong to AccountScout.
