About Integrated Publishing Solutions (IPS)

Integrated Publishing Solutions Ltd. (IPS) was established in 1996, from roots in providing multi-channel publishing: allowing companies to produce interactive CD-ROMs, websites and print-ready output from the same database, The Golden Copy.

We can reasonably claim to be pioneers in database multimedia publishing and Java application development, with such milestones as the world's first multimedia encyclopedia, The Hutchinson Multimedia Encyclopaedia and our development of the UK's first large scale Java application, a product called Datascape, for Dow Jones Telerate. This was a trading platform which provided a Java implementation of TradeStation.

In the late 1990's we created and launched the Interactive Communication Engine (ICE), a platform to enable rich interaction between Java enabled devices. A series of applications were developed from this core platform, including an innovative interactive CRM application, called HyPhone, which was initially launched by Telenor, a leading Scandinavian Telco.

We have been fortunate to have been chosen to provide solutions to a wide range of corporate clients, across the Financial Services, Manufacturing, Legal and Pharmaceutical sectors in both Europe and the United States of America. Our fundamental focus has been to provide solutions to enable effective multi channel customer communications whilst maintaining coherence and consistency of both information and brand projection across these multiple channels.

IPS's integrated publishing solutions have invariably brought our customers the ability to create highly finished publications and reports, which appear to have been designed manually, automatically. This has streamlined the production of any customer communications which are based on information stored electronically and which must be attractive and well presented. This information can then be distributed in traditional print, PDF, powerpoint slides or to a website. This brings the following benefits to any organization's document workflow:

  • Greater efficiency
  • Cost savings
  • Increased flexibility
  • Optimization of resources
  • Clearer communications internally and externally
  • Faster response to customers
  • Easier compliance with regulation and legislation
  • Better relationships with distribution chains
  • Enhanced and strengthened control of corporate image

IPS's integrated publishing solutions allow corporations to achieve both greater flexibility and greater control over their communication requirements.

We have now taken this accrued experience and sublimated it into a product, iPlus.

iPlus is the direct result of several years of focused application development by a highly skilled team of computer scientists. It is also the indirect result of our longstanding experience in database publishing.

Integrated Publishing Solutions Ltd. is a privately owned company with all equity held by those who work for the company.
