From a prior role:

"Simon & Schuster has been very pleased with Publishing Dimensions' customer service and quality. They promptly respond to queries and have proven adept at handling rush projects. The personalized attention they have given us has been a tremendous benefit in moving more complex eBook projects forward."
---Keith Titan, Formerly Senior Director of ePublishing and eCommerce, Simon & Schuster Online

"Publishing Dimensions provided us with efficient, peerless service. It's clear that they understand the needs of publishers and their end users. They work with you--not around you--to provide robust solutions to technology and content problems. They handled the digitization of a small-scale on-line book collection for the MIT Press with skillfulness and confidence."
