CAMBRIDGE, MA and SANTA CLARA, CA - December 08, 2005, THE MIT Press 
announced today that it is partnering with Atypon to host the new MIT Press 
online journals publishing platform.

The MIT Press will be working with Atypon's Premium solution, a full service 
information platform for electronic publishing that is a cost effective 
solution for publishers of any size.

Atypon's Literatum software was designed to give publishers maximum 
flexibility and control of their content, business models, and users. 
Atypon provides solutions ranging from a cost effective, simple-to-use 
content hosting and delivery service to a set of sophisticated tools and 
custom solutions for hands-on management of online content.  "At The MIT 
Press, we serve an audience of intelligent, increasingly busy readers who 
have more information to digest than ever before. We are confident that the 
decision to move to Atypon will allow our readers to access our wide range 
of journal content on a high-quality and well-developed web platform with 
great ease" said Rebecca McLeod, Journals Manager for The MIT Press.  "We're 
pleased to have chosen Atypon as our partner."

Atypon Premium
Atypon Premium e-publishing solution offers publishers a complete platform 
that manages each step of the process from content production and linking to 
administration of content collections and licensing models through full 
control of a custom-designed, branded website for their users. Publishers 
use a sophisticated administration tool to gain a high level of hands-on 
administrative control of their online business and a customized, 
feature-rich web site to present their content.

Atypon is continuing to build on this platform with modules that allow 
publishers greater control over the content and appearance of their site, 
additional tools to efficiently mine usage data and create marketing and 
outreach programs.

Atypon Premium is geared towards publishers wishing to maximize the power of 
the Internet to build their online business, experiment with new business 
models and content configurations, customize their websites, and reach a 
wider audience.


"The MIT Press was looking for a partner that could provide them with 
cutting edge technology, a responsive and easy-to-use electronic hosting 
platform, and a team of solutions experts who understood the needs of their 
customers and could provide the highest levels of service and satisfaction." 
said Georgios Papadopoulos, Atypon's CEO.  "Atypon offers a mature, and 
stable platform for all our publishing clients and we look forward to 
working with MIT Press for many years to come."
