Since 1993 Media Systems has operated as an independent software specialist providing integrated solutions for Sales, Production, Financials, Editorial and Web Systems to the UK Publishing industry. Since then the MSL customer base has grown to over 30 corporate customers in the UK, Eire and South Africa.

The core management team has over 200 man years experience of the publishing and computing industry and is well equipped to provide the quality, cost justified business solutions demanded by the industry. These solutions recognise the vital role that the Web plays in every system as it progresses.

The MSL approach is to welcome innovation and more efficient ways of responding to the changing needs of its publishing customers. To achieve this, MSL has combined with independent developers and publishing specialists on a best of breed basis to enable it to stay ahead of the emerging technologies and applications.

MSL has built its reputation on the quality of its service and attention to the needs of its customers. The Company has a strong technical bias with attention given to support. With its flagship software, ‘Forum’, and an experienced software development and delivery team, MSL's systems have been designed to provide a comprehensive solution and framework to support the complete advertising, production, financial and web demands of any publisher.

With a client base that encompasses virtually all of the UK and Irish National Press as well as regional newspapers and magazines, MSL is able to handle the needs of the smallest publisher through to the largest. MSL itself is large enough to handle all its customers but still small enough to care about every one of them. It offers a very high level of attention to detail to achieve on time installations and works very hard with its customers to maintain and enhance with a maintenance programme.
