InfoDesign Corporation, of Alexandria, Virginia, announces vacancies for an
SGML Lead Analyst, SGML Applications Programmers, and an Electronic Publishing
Manager at our Marlton, New Jersey, site.

ABOUT INFODESIGN CORPORATION

InfoDesign is an internationally-recognized leader in application of structured
data management, specializing in document management and work management.  We
are a strong advocate and established authority on the use of the Standard
Generalized Markup Language (SGML).  With offices in Alexandria, Marlton and
Toronto, Canada, InfoDesign performs consulting, SGML support services, systems
integration and training for government and corporations throughout the United
States and Canada.  

Among our major clients are Computer Sciences Corporation, Northern Telecom,
Caterpillar, Thomson Professional Publishing, HarperCollins, and various US and
Canadian government agencies.  Our training courses have been attended by
students from many of the Fortune 500 companies, including IBM, AT&T, General
Motors (EDS), Boeing, General Dynamics, Xerox, Kodak, ITT, Raytheon, Sun
Microsystems and Apple, and by representatives of most of the industry leaders
in document composition and publishing, including Datalogics, Agfa, Xyvision,
Interleaf, ArborText, Wordperfect, Silicon Graphics and SoftQuad.

The most extensive ongoing commitment is to the US Department of Defense
project known as the Joint Computer-Aided Acquisition and Logistics Support
system, or JCALS.  JCALS is a far-reaching initiative by DoD to develop
integrated databases and end-user applications, and apply international
computing and communications standards to several key functional processes of
weapon system life-cycle management.  InfoDesign is a principal subcontractor
for the JCALS prime contractor, Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC).  In this
role, we are responsible for job and task management, document processing,
scanning, data conversion, and general integration support.

The JCALS work is managed at CSC's Integrated Systems Division at Marlton.
