Public-safety content provider joins national education technology company
Informed Publishing, a print and mobile content company, has become part of Ascend Learning, a world-leading education technology company serving healthcare and other high-growth career industries.
Founded in 1986 by two paramedics and a nurse, Informed Publishing first became known for its functional, durable, pocket-sized field guides for public safety personnel. In 2010, the company launched its first mobile application and has sold more than 100,000 mobile apps, quickly discovering untapped demand for their traditional content expressed in a mobile format.
Currently, Informed Publishing offers quick-reference guides for the medical, public safety, household, and government sectors in print and mobile formats.
