ACP has selected Ingram's digital asset management platform CoreSource to distribute and archive content for their members globally.

The selection process was managed by eBOUND Canada, the newly created digital division of the ACP. "After a thorough evaluation we found that Ingram's digital asset management platform CoreSource will allow our publishers to easily and economically deliver their content in digital formats to any destination," said Robert Hayashi, President and CEO, eBOUND Canada. eBOUND will continue as stewards of the service for ACP members including management, administration, oversight and support.

"The ability to collectively ease our publishers' transitions to digital markets and help them reach more readers with more content will be an important component in growing the sales of our members," said Carolyn Wood, Executive Director, Association of Canadian Publishers.
