Concord, MA, December 15, 2000 – North Atlantic Publishing Systems today announced plans to exhibit the latest version of NPS 2000, its premier workflow management solution, at BookTech East 2001, Booth # 1116, to be held at the Hilton New York Hotel & Towers from February 12-13, 2001.

North Atlantic will also be publicly discussing, for the first time, an upcoming XML generation module scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2001. This XML generation module represents a major milestone in the evolution of NPS 2000 and promises to streamline production in the cross-media publishing arena.
