HighWire, Powered by MPS
HighWire was acquired in 2020 and is now powered by MPS Limited, a leading global provider of platforms, and content, and learning solutions for the digital world. MPS was originally established as an Indian subsidiary of Macmillan (Holdings) Limited in 1970 and are now independent. More than 2,700 professionals power MPS across seven delivery centers in India, four offices in Europe, and six client-servicing offices in the US.
- Scale – HighWire is now a $25M platform business powered by 300 people. All scholarly platforms between MPS and HighWire are now marketed under the HighWire brand.
- Stability – HighWire has moved under the umbrella of a leading content and publishing solutions institution. This brings with it long-term commitment and, most importantly, a passion for the publishing industry.
- Strategy – We now embrace custom as an enabler rather than a blocker to our customer partnerships.
- Synergies – The complementary capabilities between MPS and HighWire ensure that the combination is greater than the sum of parts and more efficient.
- Savoir-Faire – MPS and HighWire are the first publishing outsourcing and independent platform companies, respectively, in the world. We plan to lean on our 75 years of combined experience in scholarly publishing to bring a new level of sophistication in platforms to the marketplace.
