  • Vaughan Systems worked closely with Imatrad for over a year from 2012 -2013 on one of our most successful publishing projects: “Willkommen”, a part-work German course comprising 51 books specifically designed for Spaniards and sold in conjunction with the El Mundo newspaper. The course sold over one million books. Imatrad’s involvement in the project was key on a number of different levels: development of original content, correcting, editing and closing final documents prior to printing. Imatrad’s work was always exemplary as was their attitude throughout the project and I would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone serious about obtaining quality content in the German language.
