IMS acquired Hot Response in 2003 (renamed IMS Web Services) and in January 2010 built a unique CMS software platform to include the latest Web 2.0 technology, features, tools and lead-generation capabilities.

Hot Response is just one of many products that IMS offers its customers. If you’d like more information on this or other IMS products or services, click here.

For 30 years, IMS has been the magazine publishing industry's largest services company of its kind, offering an extensive range of products and services designed to help sell additional pages of advertising, increase lead results for advertisers and produce creative web solutions. All IMS products are driven by our corporate mission statement: "Helping publishers attract more advertising across all their platforms." With offices in New York, Toronto, and London, IMS serves over 1,400 magazine titles.

IMS takes pride in its high-tech reputation, as our leading-edge software technology continues to gain industry-wide recognition. Industry Canada, recognizing our "advancing-the-science" contribution, has rewarded the company with substantial research and development grants over a number of years, enabling us to continue our innovative developments.
