New SaaS Solution Built on Microsoft Windows Azure Empowers Distributed Sales and Marketing Teams to Access and Collaborate on Brand Controlled Collateral Anytime, Anywhere
Denver, CO - 2/15/2012 - Quark today launched Quark Brand ManagerTM, a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution designed to allow distributed sales and marketing teams to create, customize, and deliver brand-compliant marketing material on-demand. Quark Brand Manager runs natively on the Microsoft Windows Azure platform, providing the most sophisticated design capabilities and secure Cloud-based availability and scalability offered by a brand management solution today.
“Microsoft Windows Azure offers customers unparalleled performance, scalability, and time to market for delivering a wide range of cloud solutions,” said Mark Hindsbo, vice-president of US Developer & Platform Evangelism at Microsoft Corp. “Through the Windows Azure platform, Quark Brand Manager connects corporate marketing departments to the cloud, giving marketers and field staff the ability to access and collaborate on brand controlled material anytime, anywhere, and at a lower cost.”
As a Cloud-based solution, Quark Brand Manager can be deployed within minutes, automates system updates without requiring IT resources, and streamlines production workflows significantly. Designers convert QuarkXPress® and InDesign documents into Quark Brand Manager templates that can then be approved by marketing and customized by field teams through a simple Web interface. With Quark Brand Manager, marketing teams are able to:
- Reduce by up to 50 percent the time it takes to create templates for brand-compliant collateral
- Reduce by up to 90 percent the time it takes field teams to deliver customized collateral to consumers
- Significantly decrease costs by eliminating the need for on-premise infrastructure
“Quark entered the brand management solutions market early with our QuarkXPress Server technology. Now, with Microsoft, we’re taking an early lead to leverage the Cloud so that dispersed marketing and sales teams can maintain their most valuable differentiator – their brand,” said Ray Schiavone, Quark President and CEO. “As marketing departments take control of budget that was once allocated to IT teams, effective, affordable, and global Cloud-based solutions like Quark Brand Manager will become required resources.”

Quark Named to EContent 100 List of Top Companies in Digital Content |
|
|
|
|
Denver - 12/1/2011 - Quark announced today that it has been named to EContent magazine’s list of the 100 most influential companies in the digital content industry. The EC100 is an annual list determined by judges who include Information Today, Inc. editors, EContent magazine contributing editors, and other experts in the digital content industry.
Quark has been named to the list for the past three years, but, as EContent magazine Editor Theresa Cramer explains, “This year we focused less on enterprise content companies and more on the world of digital publishing and media, so our judges had to re-imagine the list. What struck judges most about Quark is its ability to remain a driving force in a turbulent publishing industry, and its efforts to automate multichannel delivery without losing a focus on design and the user experience.”
PG Bartlett, senior vice president of product management at Quark, said, “We thank the EContent 100 judges for recognizing the importance of Quark’s support for digital media such as the iPad as part of the Quark dynamic publishing solution. As communication channels expand, companies are wrestling with producing digital content while maintaining their print and Web support. Quark software automates publishing to all channels while taking advantage of the capabilities of each media type, and we specifically aim to meet the needs of individual designers, agencies, magazines, newspapers, as well as financial services, manufacturing, and governmental organizations.”
