"The significant investments we’ve made in new services and capabilities during this time are clearly taking root within our customer base, enabling Innodata Isogen to serve as a key strategic partner in their efforts.

"Within our eBook segment, we’re seeing a groundswell of activity in multiple segments driven by new possibilities that the iPad and other emerging devices bring to publishers who are seeking to develop a new generation of consumer experience," Abuhoff continued.
