Impelsys Sparks Global e-Publishing Revolution, Signing on 150 Publishers for iPublishCentral

NEW YORK, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Impelsys (www.impelsys.com), a global leader in electronic content delivery solutions, today announced that in just three short months since its launch at the Frankfurt Book Fair, its iPublishCentral platform (www.ipublishcentral.com) has skyrocketed to success, having registered more than 150 publishing clients worldwide.

While traditional publishers struggle to respond to the growth and popularity of the Internet, Impelsys has solidified its leadership position by supporting global publishers with online content delivery strategies. iPublishCentral is a self-service e-publishing platform that enables publishers of any size or in any location to digitize their content for sale online and to promote brands and titles across the Web through strategic viral marketing.

"The question for publishers moving forward won't be 'Shall we utilize the Web to increase sales?' but 'How do we invest in the technology needed to distribute and deliver information and knowledge in an innovative way?'" said Sameer Shariff, CEO of Impelsys.

Expert commentary on the evolution, opportunities and challenges of the e-publishing industry, along with live demonstrations of iPublishCentral, will be available at Stand # 8 during the O'Reilly Tools of Change Conference (TOC) inNew York, NY, February 9-11. Impelsys CEO, Sameer Shariff, and CTO, Nizar Jamal, will also be speaking at the conference.

Publishers in every industry -- trade publishing; science, technology and medicine; K-12 and higher education -- can initiate an e-publishing business with iPublishCentral's basic, no-cost package. The package offers publishers access to standard features and functionalities, while drastically reducing the cost and risk of launching an online strategy.

"iPublishCentral removes publishers' concern about making costly investments in new technology," continued Shariff. "The platform provides a risk-free vehicle by which publishers can experiment with new online business models."

Beta-tested with several high-profile publishers including MIT press and the American College of Physicians, iPublishCentral delivers an end-to-end workflow solution, allowing publishers to convert and monetize their print titles by tapping into three integrated modules focused on marketing, distribution and delivery: iPublishWidget, iPublishWarehouse and iPublishPortal.
