“Wolper and LM have complementary strengths, interests and cultures,” added Susan Wolper, who has led Wolper Information Services for the past 20 years.  “Independently, we have embarked on company growth by emphasizing personalized, professional customer service and cutting-edge technology as the cornerstone of our value proposition.”
Both companies’ leadership teams are committed to a seamless transition, preserving continuity and quality of service for existing customers.  Longer term, the group will look to take advantage of synergies to deliver new innovations and enhanced value to customers in the acquisition and management of content, which increasingly means e-resources.
