ARLINGTON, MA August 16, 1993 -- InterConsult Inc. today announced that InterVision, a collaborative effort between InterConsult and SGML industry experts Antoinette Azevedo and Mary Laplante will release the 1993 SGML Global Software Market Report in September 1993. The 1993 study is an extensive revision and update of the highly successful SGML market report produced last year by InterConsult. "We originally developed the study in response to the SGML vendors' urgent need to determine the size and structure of the growing market," said David Henry Goodstein, president of InterConsult. "The continued interest in SGML as a publishing and information management standard has produced a strong demand for a more extensive analysis of this dynamic market." The 1993 study includes new sections on the impact that the Hypermedia/Time-Based Structuring Language standard (HyTime), the DoD Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETM) initiative, and electronic document delivery will have on the development and adoption of SGML in the future. Also new are surveys of SGML end-user requirements, end-user case studies, and an ROI/benefits analysis. In addition, the study features expanded coverage of international activity and applications-level SGML standards within commercial markets, including automotive, pharmaceutical, financial services, and hardware and software manufacturing. It also provides detailed information on more than fifty suppliers of SGML-related products and services. Joining Goodstein in developing and marketing the 1993 study are industry consultants Antoinette Azevedo and Mary Laplante, both of whom are acknowledged experts within the SGML market. Azevedo has over twenty-five years of experience in technology and business aspects of electronic printing and publishing. She has helped vendors and users specify and implement electronic publishing systems for book, corporate, and commercial printing applications. Laplante is president of Laplante and Associates, a professional consulting organization that provides market education services to the publishing industry. "The combined knowledge and expertise of the InterVision group means that the 1993 study will be of significant benefit to both vendors and end-users within the SGML community," commented Azevedo. InterVision plans to release an end-user version of the study in the fourth quarter of 1993. InterVision will also develop and market other studies pertinent to standards-based publishing and information management. The 1993 SGML Global Software Market Report will be available for shipment on September 1, 1993.
