    Thomson Reports Double-Digit Growth for Techstreet

    Ann Arbor, MI January 25, 2005 - Today, The Thomson Corporation (NYSE:TOC; TSX: TOC), reported that sales revenue for Techstreet, the Online Standards Superstore, grew by 30% in 2004. This is the fifth straight year that Techstreet has reported double-digit growth, with an average rate of 20-40% annually since 1999. Techstreet was founded in 1997 and acquired by Thomson in August, 2003.

    Originally called CSSINFO, Techstreet founders Gregg Hammerman and Andrew Bank, entrepreneurs and University of Michigan School of Engineering graduates, launched the first-ever Website for searching and ordering industry codes and standards online. Catering to an audience of engineers, corporate librarians, and technical professionals, the company quickly introduced the first, and now one of the world's largest, searchable online databases combining industry standards and technical books. As the popularity and success of the World Wide Web has grown so has Techstreet, providing an ever-growing customer base with a fast and easy e-commerce solution for acquiring and managing engineering standards. The Techstreet Website includes relevant cross-referenced content across popular vertical industries, self-serve tools for tracking and managing documents, customer rewards programs, and a variety of enterprise-wide solutions for large and small organizations.

    Today, Techstreet's multi-user, Web-based standards subscription service is rapidly gaining in popularity as organizations realize the benefits of a managed information solution-long-term cost savings, automatic updates, easy access for multiple users, custom standards packages and flexible terms. It's the only service of its kind that lets organizations build a custom set of engineering standards in electronic format, tailored to suit their specific needs. Furthermore, the proprietary system uses the Techstreet secure Web server - no intranet is needed and there is no hardware, software or IT integration required.
