Atex is the market-leading provider of solutions and services to the media industry worldwide.
With over 35 year’s track record, in excess of 1 000 man-years of industry expertise on board and over 850 clients in 54 countries, Atex is the partner of choice for the publishing industry.
Atex specialises in the strategic development, deployment and management of mission-critical advertising, content management, circulation and digital business solutions. Our mission is to enable media companies to increase business profitability by exploiting digital technologies to maximise revenue potential, whilst driving out costs associated with traditional business processes, technologies and operations.
To enable us to deliver on these goals, Atex architected DNA, its Digital News and Advertising technology blueprint which our clients can adopt to create their media platform for the future. DNA embraces open technologies and standards and delivers a blueprint that offers the flexibility that clients increasingly require through Service-Oriented Architectures and web-services based toolsets.
Most recently Atex extended its digital capabilities by acquiring Polopoly AB. This acquisition furthers our digital leadership with market leading Web Content Management software, which enables clients to monetise sites, publications and networks, and transition to a web first digital business model. Importantly we enable all our clients to deliver the latest personalised news, advertising and multi-media content to their consumers, across multiple channels quickly and easily.
Based on our scale and global reach we are uniquely positioned to deliver industry leadership, invest in the future and provide flexible choices for customers. Our aim is to be a strategic partner to our clients, delivering real business return and confidence in selection.
Atex employs 600 employees and had sales of USD 101 mill for the year 2009.
