The company is exhibiting at IFRA 2009 (booth #A315), the first time that the new company name and identity have been presented to the European publishing industry. The new company name reflects the companys ever-greater focus on adopting new media technologies as the foundation of a product range that has the scalability and flexibility to handle publishers needs for both print and new media.

We have responded by continuously adopting the best of new media technologies to the point where Mediawides solutions are founded on a Service Oriented Architecture with a comprehensive Web Services SDK and we now develop rich media applications for Animated Web Banners and Automated e-Catalog Creation”.
