CMP is currently transforming from a pure play media company to a next generation media and services company, with products like VirtuaLabs and eLearning platforms for engineers. SI brings a great deal of information to the market and CMP can help SI access a wider global audience. Over the past four years, CMP and SI have built a solid and trusting relationship and it became clear to both parties that they would accelerate their growth by working as one.
