Both companies serve the publishing and communications industry, enabling magazine, newspaper and book publishers as well as marketing and corporate communications departments and agencies to publish to print, the Web, social media, mobile and tablets in a highly efficient manner. The solutions offered by the two partners cover all tasks in the respective workflows – from planning and creation to publication, archiving and re-purposing of content.

“Heading into its 25th year in business, MEI has a long history of implementing and supporting numerous systems. We managed to be on top of the transition from paper to pixels, and we continue to help our customers to profit from the 21st-century information revolution,” said Mark Leister, senior vice president of business development at MEI. “In this context, the addition of WoodWing’s products is a perfect complement to our portfolio.
