We strive to help our customers maximize revenues from their content assets in the fast-growing electronic content marketplace,” said Shariff.  “As we get closer to the tipping point (for publishers more widely adopting e-Book strategies across their portfolio of titles) and as publishers look for building their online infrastructures, we believe iPublishCentral is perfectly poised to meet the challenges that publishers face in getting their e-strategies off the ground.”
