Message from the CEO

Welcome. We are Publishing Technology – it's not just our name, it is who we are and what we do. We support information providers with technology and services that meet evolving and wide-ranging publishing needs. Our software powers efficient publishing processes and enables agile content delivery, while our complementary sales and marketing services drive revenue growth for our clients.

With increasing operations in a digital world, information providers must rise to meet diverse challenges if they are to remain competitive. Chief among these concerns is ensuring that diverse activities are efficiently integrated. It is an unfortunate reality that the necessity to keep pace with technological evolution is gradually disconnecting publishers’ sources of competitive advantage from their traditional competences. We would like to change this.

Our vision is simple: to partner with information providers of any size, discipline, or technical literacy, to enable a realization of the full potential of their content in the digital environment, and to increase the efficiency of processes throughout their publishing enterprise. Our market-leading technologies and integrated services are differentiated by the scope of publishing issues that each address, through our comprehensive experience and singular focus on the publishing sector. Our clients value the economies of scale and simplified communications of working with a single, trusted partner. Benefiting from our capabilities and experience, our clients are free to concentrate on the things they do best – provide information.

We are a business built on the expertise, dedication and innovation of our people. Publishing Technology was created in early 2007 following the merger of Ingenta, VISTA and PCG. Since inception, our staff of 170 has played a critical role in fusing these three diverse businesses, and their enthusiasm is a key factor in our continued success. The Publishing Technology team is seasoned, working in their respective sectors for many years and benefiting immeasurably from the first-hand experience they have gained as the publishing industry evolved. I am always impressed by their intuitive understanding of our customers' needs and aspirations, and I enjoy witnessing the spirit of challenge and enthusiasm with which our teams approach problems.

This culture of continuous improvement and dynamic creativity has driven our selection by some of the world’s top publishers – McGraw-Hill Education, Harper Collins, Random House, Elsevier, Pearson; the world’s three largest university presses, Oxford, Cambridge and Chicago; as well as major organizations such as the BBC, OECD, IMF and the World Bank. With the comprehensive range of technologies and services that Publishing Technology can provide, we look forward to supporting the future success of these publishers, existing and new clients, and to consolidating our position at the leading edge of publishing innovation. our combined organisation can provide, we are looking forward to supporting the future success of these publishers, existing and new clients, and to consolidating our position at the leading edge of publishing innovation.
