PNAS chooses ACCUCOMS to provide European sales
representation and customer service

ACCUCOMS BV, a leading provider of sales and marketing services to scholarly
and society publishers, today announced that they have been selected by the
prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) to
provide European sales representation and customer service.

"We¹ve been working with ACCUCOMS for some time now," commented George
Kendall, Production, Marketing and Licensing Manager at PNAS. "We¹ve been
impressed with their professionalism and know that our customer
relationships are safe in their hands. It¹s important for PNAS to maximize
its presence in Europe and ACCUCOMS offer an unparalleled knowledge of this
market. Their contacts and language skills will help us communicate with our
European customers in a much more personal and effective way."

ACCUCOMS are enthusiastic about what they can bring to this partnership.
"PNAS is one of the world¹s most important and influential journals," said

have been entrusted with developing their presence in Europe. We know from
the feedback we have already had in communicating with European librarians
how well known and respected PNAS is. We believe that providing a service to
librarians whereby they can discuss licensing options in their local
languages will further add to this good will, helping PNAS build strong and
lasting relationships with their European customers."
