July 22, 2015 – Workfront, the leading provider of cloud-based Enterprise Work Management solutions, has acquired the global leader in online proofing, ProofHQ. The acquisition of ProofHQ expands the Workfront marketing work management (MWM) capabilities, and further demonstrates the Company’s commitment to calming the chaos of work for marketing teams and agencies. The acquisition builds on a successful, multi-year partnership between Workfront and ProofHQ to deliver integrated proofing capabilities.

ProofHQ’s industry-leading solutions will significantly enhance Workfront’s existing offerings and accelerate the combined Company’s future growth prospects. The acquisition directly augments Workfront’s strategic vision to have all digital assets and marketing workflows managed via the Workfront platform.

ProofHQ will operate as a standalone company and keep its established headquarters in London, England.

Going forward the company will be referred to as ProofHQ, a Workfront Company.
