"It's a good time for us to add capacity," iProduction president Steve Laliberte told NL/NL, "We've added several new clients, so the demand picture is clear. Plus, the companies we buy systems from are more competitive than they were during the tech boom." Laliberte said his newsletter clients are using much of the new capacity for delivering news via e-mail. "People who subscribe to Verb 1. subscribe to - receive or obtain regularly; "We take the Times every day" subscribe, take buy, purchase - obtain by purchase; acquire by means of a financial transaction; "The family purchased a new car"; "The conglomerate acquired a new company"; publications want to know right away when something big happens," he said. "That's why newsletter publishers want more e-mail capacity. It's the ideal medium for breaking news." Laliberte said most of iProduction's business comes from small- and medium-sized publishers. "Smaller publishers want full-featured web sites like large publishers have, but without the high cost. Large publishers with internal web departments often spend in the millions each year on web systems," he said. iProduction, founded by Laliberte in 1994, is a privately held Minnesota application service provider (ASP). Publishing companies who use its systems pay monthly usage fees rather than buy the systems outright. iProduction also licenses its software to publishers who can reduce overhead by hosting many web sites on a single publishing system. iProduction's newsletter clients include The Title Report, The Daily Record, Washington Business Information Inc., and The Newsletter on Newsletters.
