GIE Data Solutions was formed in 2014 as a direct result of the development of the software systems iSirc ™ and TMI ™ by GIE Media’s software development team. Both systems specifically address the needs of the publishing industry, and are available by license through GIE Data Solutions.

As a publishing company, your audience data is the key to your success. Your data, however, is only as valuable as the tools you use to manage it. iSIRC provides publishers with a powerhouse solution that allows you to collect and control information on your print and digital brands, including your newsletters, white papers, webinars, events, and other products connected to your brand. iSIRC enables you to manage both controlled and paid circulation, and it satisfies the requirements of 3rd party audit companies such as BPA and Verified. It performs 100% in real time, providing instant access to your audience at all times.
