HORSHAM, Pa., August 14, 2000-Thomas Technology Solutions, Inc., formerly
Reed Technology (Commercial Division), has completed an integrated content
management solution for Sosland Publishing Company, that features cross-Web
site publishing capabilities for Sosland's three food industry Web sites.
The sites-BakingBusiness.com, MeatPoultry.com and World-Grain.com-are now
live.

ThomasTech developed a multi-phase publishing solution for Sosland that
allows the company to publish its food industry directories and buyers'
guides in print and on the Web from a single data repository. 

In order to publish the content of Sosland Publishing's five magazines on
the Web, ThomasTech integrated its Web Publishing Solution (WPS) component
as the content management and authoring tool. WPS helps companies reduce
publication time, streamline the Web publishing process, and deliver
personalized information to their Web customers. 

All three Web sites feature buyers' guides, regulatory information, industry
wire service, product news, job centers, magazine article archives, a free
e-mail newsletter and a personalization component that allows visitors to
receive the information of their choice. In addition, BakingBusiness.com
contains a formula exchange and an Ask the Expert section. World-Grain.com
features a weather and crop information resource, as well as valuable data
on many countries.

"We have received excellent initial feedback on our Web sites from our
readers," said Mark Sabo, president of Sosland Publishing Company.
"ThomasTech's content management and Web publishing expertise has enabled
Sosland to develop, maintain, and deliver key food industry information
quickly and efficiently."

Sosland Publishing Company is a leading publisher of information on products
and services for the grain-based foods industry. Established in 1922, the
company produces a variety of publications including Milling & Baking News,
Baking & Snack, World Grain, Baking Buyer, PANamericano, Meat & Poultry,
MarketFAX  and Bakery Production & Marketing Newsletter.

Thomas Technology Solutions, Inc. provides content management, 
e-commerce, and publishing solutions and services to industry leading
professional publishers and manufacturers. Headquartered in Horsham, Pa.,
with additional offices in London, UK, ThomasTech is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Thomas Publishing Company. ThomasTech is a Microsoft Certified
