Oxford University Press Selects iFactory’s PubFactory Platform to Develop Oxford Dictionaries Online

BOSTON, MA–(Marketwire – January 14, 2010) – iFactory, an award-winning web design and development firm, today announced that Oxford University Press (OUP) has chosen iFactory’s new online publishing development platform, PubFactory, to develop Oxford Dictionaries Online, a new global modern English dictionary and language reference service. OUP, a major provider of online reference and scholarly content to libraries, turned to iFactory for this project because of its unique focus on design and custom development capabilities.

“We are excited to be working with iFactory again, this time for our Oxford Dictionaries Online offering,” said Casper Grathwohl, VP/Reference Publisher, Oxford University Press. “We had very specific needs for this project that included extensive custom development and the desire to offer a simple and intuitive user experience. We truly believed that the PubFactory platform was the only technology solution on the market that could meet our objectives within an aggressive timeframe, and we’ve been pleased with the results so far.”

Slated for release in late spring 2010, Oxford Dictionaries Online will give users Oxford’s largest modern English dictionaries, thesauruses, and usage guides at their fingertips. It is positioned to be the go-to resource for definition-seekers, business professionals, writers, copyeditors, linguists, academics, students, teachers, non-native speakers, puzzle enthusiasts, and “wordies.” Key features and benefits of the service will include a quick search, an innovative A-Z wordwheel, and audio pronunciations. Users will be able to select U.S. or World English, giving users the context they need in a single click.

The selection of PubFactory for Oxford Dictionaries Online continues a long-standing relationship between iFactory and OUP. Among some of the Web design and development projects where OUP has partnered with iFactory are Oxford Biblical Studies Online, Oxford Language Dictionaries Online, and the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, which received an International Information Industry Award for “Best User Experience.”

“We are proud of the various online solutions that we’ve created for OUP, and our selection to develop its Oxford Dictionaries Online product is a testament to the exceptional service that we provide,” said José Fossi, CEO, iFactory. “We’re thrilled to be entering another decade of our relationship with this prestigious organization and honored and excited to continue being associated with such sophisticated and renowned editorial work.”

Presentations of Oxford Dictionaries Online will be given in OUP’s booth #2218 at the American Library Association Midwinter Meeting in Boston, January 15-17, 2010, and will also be featured at the PubFactory launch party on Saturday, January 16 at 5:00 p.m. at The Seaport Hotel, Flagship A Room, 2nd floor.
