Impress Corporation Profile
Impress Corporation (Publisher)
Established in 1992 to pursue the potential of digital technology in
publishing, Impress Corporation, during its short corporate life to
date, has put more than 70 books and CD-ROM products on the market,
many of them appearing on the computer book bestseller lists. In our
magazine divisions Japan's first "INTERNET magazine" and "DOS/V POWER
REPORT" cover two hot topics with timely and trustworthy articles
offering a strong base of support to our readers and getting their
strong support in return.
Finding the interesting and practical and putting it into a widely
available digestible format is the role of the publisher. However,
with the rise of the PC as media (readers like yourself prove our
point) limiting ones role to paper-based publishing is becoming more
and more impractical. Readers have already been blessed by all kinds
and varieties of media whether they can be termed true "multimedia" or
not. At Impress we have no plans of complacently surviving in the
established printed media world but are striving to transend the media
to become a media independent publisher.
Impress as a media independent publisher is pushing forward with its
R&D efforts thriving on the feedback between our editorial and
R&D teams to put out unqiue products.
In order to strengthen ourselves as a publisher, Impress has joined
forces with several companies such as Rittor Music as well as a sales
organization to form the Impress Group. Group companies build on each
others strengths through cooperation in both administrative and
planning activities.
