Washington, DC – November 1, 2004 – Today, Plexus Consulting Group announced that it has signed an agreement with American Legal Publishing Corporation to offer electronic publishing and information management services to its association and government clients. Under the agreement, American Legal Publishing will serve as a Plexus Consulting Affiliate, and will assist Plexus in providing solutions to publish and distribute conference papers, publications and other documents on CD-ROM and on the Internet.

American Legal Publishing (www.amlegal.com) is a U.S.-based company that provides codification, electronic publishing and information management services to government entities and non-profit associations. Using the award-winning Folio Views® search-and-retrieval software and the NXT® content management software, American Legal helps organizations publish codes, regulations, policy manuals, conference papers, and other specialty publications on CD-ROM, on networks/intranets and on the Internet. American Legal has worked with over 1,800 organizations around the world, including the International Municipal Lawyers Association, the World Jurist Association, America’s Community Bankers, the Supreme Court of Nigeria, the State of Florida (USA), the Cities of Los Angeles, California and Dallas, Texas, the District of Columbia, and many others.

“American Legal’s technical expertise adds another dimension to our service offerings,” said Steven Worth, President of Plexus Consulting Group. “Our affiliation allows us to provide high-quality, robust electronic publishing solutions to our clients around the world.”

Folio Views (designed for CD-ROM publishing) and NXT (designed for Internet/intranet publishing) allow users to quickly and easily locate information. Both programs allow users to perform fast, full-text searches throughout large volumes of material, browse/navigate information with an electronic table of contents, and follow hypertext links to access related pieces of information. “Folio Views and NXT are the undisputed search-and-retrieval technology leaders in the professional reference publishing industry,” said Rick Baltzersen, Director of New Business Development for American Legal Publishing. “Organizations that use the software to publish information will find that the programs provide an easy-to-use, yet scalable solution for distributing their documents and publications. And, needless to say, the consumers or end-users that access the information in Folio Views or NXT will find that the software dramatically reduces research time and makes it easier to find information.”
