Enginius (online Marketing Engineering)

Enginius, our new flagship product, includes our familiar Marketing Engineering models and cases. But it is platform independent,  providing the same user experience on almost any internet--connected device. All new models and cases will be introduced on Enginius only.

All existing MEXL model are available in Enginius, as well as most of our existing cases. And we recommend you carefully review new models and cases, available only on Enginius.

Marketing Engineering for Excel (MEXL)

MEXL, our legacy product, has served our marketing educators well. We will continue to make the product available for several more years, but no additional models, features or cases will be introduced on the MEXL platform.

Marketing Engineering Cloud (ME Cloud)

Our ME Cloud product is a Windows-server based version of MEXL and is intended for Macintosh users and/or Windows users who cannot install MEXL on their local machine. ME Cloud requires Mac users to work in a Windows environment, something that is likely foreign to them and Enginius provides a far superior use-experience. Hence, ME Cloud will be discontinued on December 31, 2019 June 30, 2020. Instructors who are planning classes for 2020 should plan on using Enginius (above).

Fall 2019 Considerations

Instructors teaching Fall 2019 may be reluctant to embrace a new platform at this time; hence, we have made it easy for you and your students to experience Enginius without switching completely.

If you have not yet explored the Enginius platform, please visit Enginius.biz to for a quick video overview.

Further, every student with a Marketing Engineering for Excel license will have the same access to Enginius, at no additional cost.

We recommend you consider introducing at least one of our new Enginius models this Fall; that introduction should require minimal change to your course(s). We encourage instructors to experience and share Enginius now; beginning January 2020, Enginius will be licensed separately.
