Minitex is excited to announce that we have selected ReShare, hosted by Index Data, to replace the VDX system that supports MNLINK. MNLINK’s new platform is scheduled to go live by early summer, 2024. We extend our thanks to the members of the MNLINK Transition Task Force, whose work made this decision possible.
