In February 1990, we purchased this impressive CD Publisher: a device that could read mainframe tapes, had 2 GB (!) of storage space on an optical disk and could simulate the contents of CD-ROMs. Cost at the time: 78,000 guilders – equivalent to around £35,400.

From CD-ROM search to managing your entire, ever-growing data landscape: technology and our company continue to evolve. And even after 38 years, we continue to learn, innovate and look ahead every day. Here's to 40!
Unique in the ever-changing world of IT: MY-LEX is as old as the emerging Dutch IT industry itself. And we have been pioneers for 38 years.
Our strength lies in our foresight and our ability to constantly renew our product range, looking at the needs of the market - often before the market itself knows what it needs.
In the run-up to our 40th anniversary, we look back on the different phases of IT history and how MY-LEX has played a role in each of them. From CD-ROM to Enterprise Search, to content integration, and now insight into all data, management and compliance. Technology changes, but our mission remains the same: to provide smart and manageable access to information.
Today we are celebrating a milestone: our entrepreneurial adventure began on 30 June 1987 – literally a lifetime ago.
Our origins lie in printing the first CDs in Europe, which led to the development of search technology. We were the first to make data on optical discs (CD-ROMs) searchable. This search software was used by large international publishers such as the Telephone Directory and Van Dale dictionaries.
We have rediscovered a few of those iconic discs, like a time capsule from the 1990s. Did you ever work with them? Or do you still have one of these classics lying around?
