Founded in 1994 - IPI, a publisher, serves as a marketplace for information, news and breakthrough ideas. A publisher of Professional Resource Centers ( Center ).

Useful ideas, opinions and information that within an industry make the professionals within that industry more independent intellectually and more connected professionally. Integrating industry professional's insights and information along with ideas.

The Internet, and the tools it allows us to provide, is an integral part of our publishing; but we are centered on the insights, information and ideas ( 3-I's ). The 3-I's are offered in different ways: web sites, reports, newsletters, and sometimes conferences.

We don't minimize the importance of using the best medium to maximize the effectiveness of the Center, but our central focus is on the 3-I's. The business is organized as well as centered according to the 3-I's. Where the 3-I's are in common, they are integrated and become part of a 'Professional Resource Center'.

Each Center becomes a business and is led by one who understands the Center, its market, its purpose and its vision. Furthermore, one who is impassioned to fulfill the Vision of the Center.
