NEWBOOKS Solutions

NEWBOOKS was founded by Moritz Hodde in 2003. The company quickly developed into one of the industry's leading providers of high-quality metadata and IT services. Collaboration with the Hattingen-based software provider iucon quickly led to the development of a range of new title alerting services based on the NEWBOOKS catalog of scholarly and specialist books, an approval plan system for libraries, an industry-wide solution for the import of title data using ONIX 2.1 and the purchase and ordering system known as SARA. In 2013 Moritz Hodde and Amr Osman founded NEWBOOKS Solutions GmbH together with Stefan Schwedt and Björn Stude, the managing directors of iucon. Since then the company has developed ground-breaking solutions for the industry such as VLB-TIX and together with MVB (a subsidiary of German Publishers & Booksellers Association) founded the joint ventures VLB-TIX and VLB-Services. With its import and export systems for ONIX 2.1 and 3.0 NEWBOOKS Solutions has become one of the pioneers in the introduction and implementation of the book industry standard. As an official service partner of MarkLogic, NEWBOOKS Solutions has been offering its customers implementation of NoSQL database projects since 2015. In June 2016 NEWBOOKS Solutions received the "MarkLogic Partner Excellence Award" in London.
