Atypon Systems, Inc. to Develop Integrated Content Delivery 
Platform for American Chemical Society

SANTA CLARA, California and WASHINGTON, D.C. - June 18, 2007 - 
Atypon Systems, Inc., a leading provider of e-publishing 
solutions, signed an agreement today with the American Chemical 
Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society, to develop 
a new software platform to support the delivery of ACS's 
prestigious journal program.

"We are very excited and proud to have been selected as trusted 
technology partner for the delivery of an e-publishing platform 
for The American Chemical Society," said Georgios Papadopoulos, 
founder and CEO of Atypon.

Atypon's considerable experience in providing leading scholarly 
publishers with sophisticated, flexible and more cost effective 
e-content delivery platforms will provide ACS with a 
customisable, reliable and robust solution that will create a 
more efficient online experience and deliver increased value to 
ACS members and other content users.

Under the terms of the agreement, ACS will host their content 
locally utilising the Atypon Premium application suite. In 
addition, Atypon will work with the in-house ACS software 
development team to help integrate the new content delivery 
platform into ACS's existing technology infrastructure; providing 
a seamless look and feel and consistent experience across all ACS 
online services.

"The ACS required full control over the infrastructure for their 
online content delivery platform; Atypon's ability to deliver to 
these requirements, by providing local hosting and integration 
into existing services continues to demonstrate our flexible 
approach and willingness to supply innovative solutions that meet 
publishers' needs," said Papadopoulos.

"We are excited to be partnering with Atypon, and intend through 
this partnership to provide ACS members and other consumers of 
our content with flexible and reliable access to ACS Journal 
content.  We expect our use of the Atypon system to enable ACS to 
react more quickly in the future to the evolving demands of our 
customers," said John Sullivan, Chief Information Officer, 
American Chemical Society.

Local hosting with Atypon's Premium Platform and integration with 
existing ACS enterprise applications will provide the ACS 
Journals program with the necessary development options to 
achieve competitive advantage in the area of content delivery.
