ANN ARBOR, Mich., July 8, 2004 -- Arbortext, Inc., the leading provider
of Enterprise Publishing Software, announced today that Wolters Kluwer
(Euronext Amsterdam: WKL) has standardized on Arbortext's XML-based
software for its publishing initiatives throughout its companies in
Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific.  Wolters Kluwer is a leading
multinational publisher and information services company.

Wolters Kluwer employees around the globe will use Arbortext publishing
software to create and publish market-driven, customized products and
services in the media format that best suits the customer.  These can
include internet-based products, CD-ROMs, books, newsletters,
professional journals and loose-leaf publications.  As a result, Wolters
Kluwer is able to increase revenue and open new market opportunities.

"We publish information to many different industries, in many different
languages, and in a number of different formats," said John K. Roth,
Wolters Kluwer's Vice President of Technology Operations and Publishing -
North America.  "We wanted to standardize on a publishing system that was
flexible, powerful, and capable of being implemented at our offices
around the world. We chose Arbortext because their products most closely
accommodate our current unique needs and future opportunities."  

Arbortext's Enterprise Publishing Software eliminates manual publishing
processes that can be inflexible, time-consuming and costly.  Using
Arbortext's powerful publishing software, employees at Wolters Kluwer
will be able to author content in a way that relieves them from the
prolonged, inefficient task of manual design and layout.  Arbortext
software enhances Wolters Kluwer's power to easily deliver highly
tailored information based on select language, audience, media type and
other factors.

"Wolters Kluwer is a premier publisher of information to the health, tax,
accounting, corporate, financial services, legal and regulatory, and
education markets, and I am pleased that we are expanding our
relationship with them as they roll out our publishing software
throughout their enterprise," said Raymond Schiavone, President and CEO
at Arbortext.  "Organizations such as Wolters Kluwer keenly understand
the advantage of adopting enterprise publishing applications in order to
achieve cost reductions, quality improvements, market expansion and
increased customer satisfaction."
