Features

Quark Publishing System integration with Microsoft SharePoint:

• Lets stakeholders across the organization participate in the publishing process using standard corporate systems.
• Allows the use of a single repository for all content across the organization.
• Provides company-wide access to all types of documents and corporate assets, including publishing assets.
• Enables automated publishing to multiple channels, including print, Web, and digital media.

Knowledge workers can:

• Create, edit, and copyfit content in a QuarkXPress layout using Quark's Web-based editor in the SharePoint user interface.
• Add and manipulate pictures in a QuarkXPress layout using Quark's Web-based editor in the SharePoint user interface.
• Create and update content in Microsoft Word, and then see that content automatically reflected in QuarkXPress layouts.
• Reduce the burden on the Creative Services department and speed up the process by directly initiating the automated generation of PDF, SWF (Flash), XML, HTML, JPEG, and PNG output. Quark Publishing System automatically publishes content and design with templates stored in SharePoint.

Publishing teams can use all of the standard business functions provided by SharePoint. For example, they can:

• Use the same workflows that other knowledge workers use, and integrate knowledge workers into those workflows.
• Manage their own projects and tasks and participate in other projects across the organization, improving project management efficiency.
• Assign tasks to others in the organization and get tasks assigned by others, improving workload and schedule coordination.
• Take advantage of SharePoint's sophisticated tools for resource allocation, task assignment, and integrated communications, improving operational efficiency.
• Continue to use specialized publishing tools such as QuarkXPress, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and others, while also using the organization's standard business tools such as Microsoft Office.
