History
Impelsys was founded in 2001 by Sameer Shariff.[2] Initially the company worked for textbook publishers, scanning hard copies and producing compact discs to accompany textbooks.[1] In 2003, Impelsys incorporated and initiated a content transformation service for Elsevier. That same year Impelsys also started offering ancillary content services for the publishing industry.[citation needed]
Though the initial services offering centered around content engineering, in 2004, the company started developing web applications for the publishing industry.[citation needed] A few years later, Impelsys came up with a content delivery platform that allowed publishers to deploy their content on their own white labeled content delivery platforms. In 2009, Impelsys launched iPublishCentral.[2] The platform is updated regularly to keep pace with the evolving publishing industry.[3]
