iProduction Background
iProduction was founded in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1994 by Stephen M. Laliberte. The company’s clients include newsletter, industry journal, and magazine publishing companies.

Publishers hire iProduction to acquire high-level Web publishing capabilities quickly and to avoid the high cost of in-house Web departments. iProduction is an application service provider (ASP), meaning that clients pay monthly usage fees rather than buying iProduction systems outright.

iProduction’s core product is a suite of applications that enable non-technical editors to manage complex Web publications remotely via browser. With iProduction, Web editors can publish stories and issues, schedule advertising, create archives, and complete many other day-to-day editorial tasks in less time and without programming. The iProduction system also handles subscriptions, credit card purchases, merchant account deposits, fulfillment, content syndication, and other financial/managerial publishing functions.

iProduction is privately held and employs a full time staff of twelve. The company is located at 3570 Lexington Avenue North in St. Paul, Minnesota.
