PRESS RELEASE

Lisse, The Netherlands

July 17, 2007

SwetsWise enhances its functionality and grows to handle
more 
than half a million subscriptions!

The latest edition of SwetsWise integrates additional 
capabilities for the delivery and distribution of print
issues; 
the steady migration of customers to the new and innovative

SwetsWise platform sees it now handling more than a third of

Swets' total subscriptions worldwide.

Swets is delighted to announce the successful release of 
SwetsWise 4.4, the latest system update for the most 
comprehensive and sophisticated subscriptions management
service 
currently available. Swets launched the all-new, fully
integrated 
SwetsWise portfolio in February of this year, with customers

being steadily migrated to the new platform over the past
few 
months. SwetsWise Subscriptions, the core focus of the
SwetsWise 
portfolio, is now handling more than a third of all
subscriptions 
managed by Swets worldwide, totaling more than 680,000
individual 
subscriptions, and the number is rapidly increasing.

The release of SwetsWise 4.4 includes further integration of
the 
SwetsWise Consolidation service into the overall SwetsWise 
portfolio, enabling customers to fulfill all aspects of the

subscription management process through one platform.
SwetsWise 
Consolidation handles the logistical tasks that support the

receipt of print issues--unwrapping, checking in,
distributing, 
archiving and more--and eliminates the frustration
associated 
with preparing journals for distribution. As a result,
customers 
save substantial time and money.

The new functionalities included in SwetsWise 4.4 allow
customers 
to:

-- See the details of all SwetsWise Consolidation shipments
-- View what will be included in the forthcoming shipments
-- Download packing slip information directly from
SwetsWise
-- Maintain customized sticker data for ease of processing
-- Manage circulation or routing lists

The new release also makes SwetsWise available in two new 
languages -
Italian and Danish.

Thomas Snyder, Chief Commercial Officer of Swets, comments,
'The 
steady migration of customers to the new SwetsWise platform
sees 
us building on the strong foundations we laid down with the

launch of the fully integrated SwetsWise portfolio earlier
this 
year.  Swets has the deliberate strategy to constantly
improve 
SwetsWise in order to continually improve our customers' 
experience.  The release of SwetsWise 4.4 makes the
Consolidation 
process easier to manage and more transparent for our
customers, 
helping to further simplify the way they acquire, access and

manage subscriptions.  As a result, SwetsWise provides
customers 
with the ultimate environment for subscriptions
management.'
