Press Release

Concord, MA, April 2, 2001 – North Atlantic Publishing Systems is pleased to announce that the Seybold Publications Editors have recognized the unique potential of the NAPS Translation System by choosing it as a Hot Pick for Seybold Seminars Boston 2001. NTS is a sophisticated translation engine, which provides easy-to-use, automated conversion from Quark and Word/RTF to XML, and from XML to HTML. With NTS in place, content developed for print media can be converted and re-formatted for web publication in a matter of moments.

"NTS is a fresh approach to the XML conversion problem that has been vexing the publishing industry," noted the Seybold editors. "Its Web-based operation and support for Word and XPress dovetail with many publishers’ existing tools and workflows."

The Seybold Publication Editors’ Hot Picks recognize interesting new products and technologies that will be on display at Seybold Seminars Boston 2001, April 10-12 at the Hynes Convention Center.

"Seybold Seminars Boston is the premier technology forum in our industry," stated Peter Baumgartner, President of North Atlantic. "We are accordingly delighted to be the recipient of a Seybold Editors’ Hot Pick for NTS."

North Atlantic Publishing Systems develops web-based workflow management solutions for publishers. Editorial workflow management, integration of QuarkXPress and Microsoft Word, cross-platform support, and extensive scheduling and tracking features all contribute to NAPS appeal.
