Dec. 9, 2009 - PRLog -- MetaCommunications today announced the immediate release and availability of Workgroups 2010 with built-in support for improved Adobe InDesign and InCopy CS4 collaborative publishing workflows.

"With InDesign and InCopy, Adobe provides some basic tools for editorial and design collaboration right out of the box," said Robert T. Long, Executive Vice President of MetaCommunications. "We extend and enhance these capabilities by wrapping their capabilities into a more robust suite of publishing workflow and collaboration tools that truly allows teams to work together and stay in sync across multiple projects and rapidly changing environments."
