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.
