Editorial
 As the consultancy
practice has grown its customers have appreciated its totally independent
advice and thought leadership linked only to the client's business
requirements. With the adoption of the Medway software product by many
manufacturers as part of their overall solutions it became increasingly
apparent that while synergies existed that both consulting and software
businesses should grow independently.
 The new
structure will create a better environment for both companies to grow yet still
provide the efficiencies of a central service operation.
 Marquis
Broadcast will continue to have responsibility for Medway and the newly
released products Parking and Bridging. The last twelve months has seen an
explosion in the use of Medway and at this years' IBC Medway would have been
discussed on the booths of some twenty manufacturers as part of their
offerings. 
Marquis Consulting LLP will now have a structure that will enable consultants
to have a financial interest in the business as it grows. The consulting
company has over ten associates as well as four Partners on its books and
provides services to clients around the world.
