Hearst CDS Global Offers eEditions Platform

http://www.foliomag.com/2012/cds-global-launches-digital-newsstand-data-management-system#
The collection and management of the raw customer and sales data that comes out of the digital newsstand providers has been a huge pain point for publishers.
Simply put, digital edition and app sales data coming in from Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Zinio and the rest is not standardized.  --> Fulfillment providers have been in the unique position of finding a solution to this issue and Hearst-owned CDS Global has just rolled out a platform it's calling eEditions that aims to collect, filter and standardize sales data from all of the major digital newsstands.
