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.
