History

Innodata Corporation was founded in 1988 in New York City to provide digitized content as the Internet was emerging from its scientific roots to become an important commercial and social force. The company created quality assurance and audit procedures that became an industry benchmark.

By 1992, the year the company went public, Innodata had grown to more than 1,000 employees worldwide. Advances in telecommunications infrastructure allowed it to establish centers of highly trained personnel in Asia to support North American and European operations. Major publishers, including Grolier (now Scholastic Corporation) and Reed Elsevier, turned to Innodata for content services. Throughout the decade, its growing roster of blue-chip publishing clients led to opening major facilities in the Philippines, Sri Lanka and India.

The company tripled its revenue to $60 million from $20 million between 1999 and 2001, earning accolades from Business Week and Fortune Magazine as a top-performing public company. In 2001, Innodata acquired Isogen International and integrated both company’s content management and publishing technologies, structured information standards and outsourcing services. In 2003, the name of Innodata Isogen Inc. was formally adopted to reflect the full range of consolidated offerings in Content Supply Chain Optimization.

Innodata Isogen gained additional recognition as a premier Information Technology (IT) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services provider from 2004 through 2007, being named to EContent Magazine’s EContent 100 and KMWorld magazine’s 100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management. Its standing is furthered in 2007 by achieving General Services Administration standing as a provider of content related professional services to government agencies.
