ABOUT S3 PUBLISHING TECHNOLOGIES
S3-CISPUB is a comprehensive, world-class, publisher-centric ERP software package designed to help publishers of all sizes and disciplines operate and grow their business. First implemented in 1977, S3-CISPUB is the result of decades of intricate collaboration between publishers and systems analysts that has become a standard of excellence in the enterprise publishing software marketplace.
In 1999 S3 (System Support Services), an acclaimed software support house of more than 15 years, acquired CISPUB, melding this exceptional publishing software with S3's heavily customer-centric vision. This joining of vision and purpose has been, and will continue to be, the driving force in current and future development of the software.
