Impelsys develops digital platforms for publishers of e-books and learning management system providers. The company was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in New York. Impelsys' information technology operations are based in Bangalore, India.[1]
History
Impelsys was founded in 2001 by Sameer Shariff.[2] At first 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 has been updated regularly to keep pace with the evolving publishing industry.[3]
Clients
Impelsys has a customer base of over 100 publishers globally. MIT Press, Elsevier and Sesame Street[4][5] were early adopters of iPublishCentral. Other major clients include McGraw-Hill Education, HarperCollins, and Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.[6][7]
