Leading publisher integrator joins growing partner channel for digital publishing solution

Jenkintown, PA - ?Managing Editor Inc (MEI), the world’s leading reseller of Adobe® Digital Publishing Suite™ (DPS) and developer of MEI Portico™, today announced that it has signed Media Systems Limited (MSL) to sell and support MEI Portico in the United Kingdom, Ireland and South Africa. MEI now has certified Portico integrators covering a majority of European countries. 

Based in London, England, MSL has been active in the App publishing arena since the launch of the iPad and supplies multiple solutions for publishers across a range of markets. MSL has completed many DPS implementations in the past four years, for customers such as Reed Business Information, National Geographic Kids, Arsenal Football Club, Hargreaves Lansdown and the University of Sheffield.

“We specialize in enterprise-wide implementations of Adobe Digital Publishing Suite – including custom storefront development, entitlement integration and private distribution,” said Ian Bennett, MSL’s CEO. “Portico enables us to build and deliver those services via a web-based administrator without needing to write code. Publishers and corporations are able to get up and running in less than a day. The app look can be updated at any time without users downloading an update from the App Store or Google Play.”

Paul Driscoll, MSL’s Publishing Director, added “We look forward to working with MEI and Adobe to bring our collective knowledge and software to the emerging market. There’s an ever growing number of businesses who have the need to deliver content via Tablet and Phone in an attractive and easily manageable way, and Portico has an important role to play in helping to achieve this.”

“MSL’s experience with both corporate and commercial publishing, combined with its DPS expertise, made it a natural choice as our preferred Portico partner in the UK and Ireland,” said Mark Walter, MEI’s director of partner relations. “We are also delighted to extend the Portico channel into Africa for the first time.” 

MEI’s Portico distribution network also includes Topix, covering Germany, Austria Switzerland and France; Emerasoft in Italy; and Optizen in Poland and Eastern European countries.
