Flatirons Solutions Sponsors Enterprise Publishing Conference

Industry Leaders Gather At Arbortext 10th Annual User Group Conference

ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 10, 2005 - Arbortext, the leading provider of Enterprise Publishing software, today announced that Flatirons Solutions is a gold sponsor at the 2005 Arbortext Enterprise Publishing conference. Companies that publish large amounts of information, such as technical manuals, pharmaceutical product information, legal information and software documentation will gather at Disney's Contemporary Resort, May 18-20, 2005 in Orlando, Florida to discuss strategies to streamline their publishing processes.

Flatirons Solutions will be highlighting a variety of innovative XML-based publishing solutions, covering the spectrum from commercial publishing houses to in-house production of technical manuals and marketing materials. Examples include:

• Scientific, Technical and Medical (STM) Publishing - solutions that streamline the publishing of engineering and medical journals -- to both print and web -- while providing a rich, searchable digital repository of individual articles.
• Legal Publishing - solutions that enable legal publishers to shift from a print- to web-based publication process -- providing immediate updates to the web but continuing to support less frequent loose-leaf and bound book publishing.
• In-House Technical Publishing - solutions that allow all related tech pubs to be produced simultaneously from a single source, slashing cycle times and eliminating costly multiple, independent publication cycles.
• Personalized User Manuals - solutions that allow customized user manuals to be dynamically produced based on parameters entered by customers on the web site - reducing cost and increasing customer satisfaction.

"This is the conference to attend in 2005 if you are working on your company's enterprise publishing strategies," said Greg Beserra, President of Flatirons Solutions. "The streamlining of publishing processes is one of the last great frontiers for cost savings and communication improvements through automation, and we are happy to be part of the revolution."

"AUGI is about the exchange of ideas and experiences around Enterprise Publishing," said Terry Welty, Vice President of Corporate Marketing at Arbortext. "The depth and breadth of knowledge that Flatirons Solutions brings as one of the event's Gold Sponsors adds a multitude of value to this year's conference."

This year's event will feature 60 sessions covering a broad range of topics, from an introduction and basic understanding of enterprise publishing and its business application areas to in-depth case studies.
