Additional Advantages of Bench>Press
	A customized system: Bench>Press will conduct a multi-step workflow analysis with editorial staff as the first phase of system implementation.
	Intuitive design: The system was designed by a developer with significant real-world experience in manuscript management for a scientific journal.
	Flexibility and prioritization: The system is role- and (virtual) queue-based, and new roles and queues can easily be added. Roles and queues help keep editors, reviewers, and staff focused and highlight what needs to be done.
	Extensive and flexible reporting: We are building our reporting system using the same "data warehousing" technique and team that has built the highly-regarded reporting used in our online journal system.
	An "experienced" system: Bench>Press's design draws upon the vast experience of the Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC) manuscript-management system, which is probably the highest-volume, most "experienced" system in use.
	The benefits of collaboration: Because HighWire Press is not a printer or publisher, we have been able to work with two of the largest printers of STM journals to develop specifications for accurate and efficient transfer of manuscripts from acceptance into production flows.
	Commitment: Just as we have proven with our affiliated journals, the job doesn't end with launch - we will continue to be available to you to answer questions, troubleshoot problems, and discuss new features and functionality.
	Continuing enhancements at no extra charge: General updates, changes and continuous enhancements will benefit all, with no need to buy a new version.
