MPS
MPS has entered another
phase of growth, according
to company CEO Rahul
Arora. “Our focus has
expanded to include all
forms of learning. Now we
view content as global and
all-encompassing, from
educational to science and
scholarly to professional
development to learning
within an enterprise.” And
MPS’s ability to author,
develop, manage, produce,
and deliver content through smarter technologies and work-
flows is what binds it all together.
“Our vision is to power the competitiveness and differentia-
tion of our customers by making the process transparent, real-
time, and always focused on the learning outcomes,” adds
Arora, whose company’s Vision 2023 plan centers on three
strategies—leverage, diversify, and disrupt—and through
further developments on its three platform ecosystems
(DigiCore, Magplus, and Think360).


Modules within the cloud-based digital publishing plat-
form DigiCore have been enhanced and expanded. For
instance, DigiXML now accepts a broader scope of normal-

learning. DigiRights (a rights and permissions platform) has
been integrated into, and now offered as an additional module
of, DigiCore.
As for the e-commerce ecosystem Think360, which MPS
acquired in April 2017, enhancements include integration
with ERPs and CRMs with the bidirectional flow of data, PCI
compliance, multifactor authentication for payment gateway
integration, flexible invoicing with custom templates, and
dynamic report generation through advanced analytics,
custom KPIs, and customizable dashboards. The company’s
business intelligence module, MPSinsight, is now equipped
to generate Counter 5 statistics and reports.
The digital and mobile publishing platform Magplus,
which is targeted at creative professionals, now has a powerful
content-management system, enhanced authoring and pro-
duction environments, and advanced analytics on user-
behavior insights.
