An email to customer from the chairman of software firm
MEI said the company has shut down daily operations.
“After almost three decades of strong success, MEI has
confronted difficult financial challenges that forced the company to cease many
of its operations this month,” the Jan. 10 email read.
“Although we are working to obtain appropriate funding, the
current plan is to wind down daily operations and work closely with our quality
partners and other system integrators to transition customer relations and
support for long-term success,” the email read.
The email said more information would be coming from the company
this week, as it becomes clear what the next steps are. The company was working
to restore basic phone support, the email said. It said people could reach out
to the company through info@maned.com.

A post from
Chris Perez, CEO and creative director at branding and marketing agency Left
Right Media, said Belgium-based Twixl Media has announced the ending of its
partnership agreement with MEI following the recent developments. “This
situation has no impact at all on your current Twixl subscription, everything
will keep on working like it has automatically,” said an email from Marketing
Manager Laurent Gerniers, according to Perez. “Our company is not affected by
this situation, so there is no impact on the continuity of our own activities,”
the email said.
Perez said Austin-based Left Right has worked with MEI almost
since Left’s Right’s start. Perez said his company was ready to help those
uprooted by the closure of MEI or other developments in the industry. He
suggested employers use LinkedIn to take a look at MEI employees to fill open
jobs.
