MEI's Page Director products, ALS (Ad Layout System) and CLS (Classified Layout System), are the industry leaders in automated ad layout. They simplify and streamline the ad layout process by interpreting information from a front-end booking system and automatically placing ads on pages according to rules you set. MEI also offers AdForce and ClassForce for easy drag-and-drop dummying, and ALS Direct for linking to the editorial K4 system.
The K4 Cross-Media Publishing Platform integrates Adobe InDesign and Adobe InCopy in an editorial workflow system that provides the power and flexibility of database-driven technology. You can enhance your K4 system with InPorter, a new MEI-developed add-on that automatically ingests most types of content, including articles, layouts, pictures and Word documents, and their metadata into the workflow. K4 is easy to train, easy to use and easy to manage. MEI is the exclusive American distributor of K4, developed by vjoon GmbH in Germany.
IPS AdTrac combines a spreadsheet interface and off-the-shelf pagination software to manage all components of advertising production. It is also one of the components of the Integrated Production Suite, MEI's powerful, scalable solution for ad production across an entire enterprise. When connected to the IPS Engine, AdTrac, ALS, CLS and Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress change from standalone tools to collaborative workhorses.
