"Whether you are an advertising agency, broadcaster, publisher or advertiser, you will know that having (or not having) access to reliable computer software can have a huge impact on your working life" - Telmar.

Telmar Communications Ltd, the UK subsidiary of Telmar Group Inc., makes available software designed to analyse large industry databases used for marketing and the buying and selling of media. That software allows the User to electronically interrogate the JNRS research data and to export into excel and other presentation formats, in a quick, reliable and economic manner.

eTelmar was created to provide Telmar's world renowned media planning software over the Internet using a web browser. eTelmar is accessible from any computer with internet access, and provides automatic updates of the latest data and system upgrades as soon as they are released. There is also the added benefit of a shadowing facility to help client service to provide remote support to eTelmar users.

TNT+ Crosstab analyses one set of variables against any other set of variables in the form of a crosstab report. It is often used to identify target markets for advertising campaigns or to investigate a publication's profile. eTelmar clients can now use TNT+ version 5 which includes anew interface and coding grid style, as well as drag and drop coding and a snapshot saving feature, making coding and access saved crosstab reports easier.

Mediaplanner+ is Telmar's innovative press planning package. With just one easy-to-use program, it is possible to carry out a range of press analyses including cost, coverage, or composition rankings, schedule evaluations, optimisations and frequency distributions.
