Quark And Alfresco Announce New Partnership

Collaboration Pairs Two Pioneers in Open Standards-Based Enterprise Technology

DENVER & LONDON - Quark Inc. and Alfresco Software, Inc. announced a new partnership to develop integrated enterprise-class publishing and content management solutions for professional and corporate publishers.

With 15 years of workgroup publishing experience, Quark has designed technologies such as Quark Publishing System 7(R) (QPS(R) 7) to streamline the editorial and creative workflow processes while improving production. Alfresco, the leading open source alternative for enterprise content management (ECM), couples the innovation of open source with the stability of an enterprise-class platform.

This new partnership will enable Quark and Alfresco to provide cost-effective end-to-end content management and publishing solutions based on open standards - enabling seamless integration with an organization's existing business system. Publishers will benefit from Quark and Alfresco's combined technologies which are both highly scalable, easy to deploy, and enable real-time collaboration and timely content delivery.

"The biggest challenge within the content creation workflow within any organization is a seamless integration of the content with traditionally siloed systems," said Mukul Krishna, Global Manager, Digital Media Practice, Frost & Sullivan. "The Quark and Alfresco partnership is exactly the sort of integration that the market needs to create more efficient workflows in the form of end-to-end solutions that integrate content management with dynamic publishing throughout the content lifecycle."

"Quark's partnership with Alfresco expands our functionality into the open source community," said Linda Chase, general manager, QPS. "We look forward to providing professional and corporate publishers with easy-to-deploy workflow and production solutions based on open standards."

"Alfresco is excited to work with Quark to develop and deliver innovative end-to-end publishing and content management solutions," commented John Powell, CEO and co-founder, Alfresco Software. "Alfresco is seeing tremendous adoption across publishing, media and government sectors. This is being driven by the need to efficiently repurpose content for today's dynamic publishing market. Through this collaboration with Quark, we will be able to offer media and publishing organizations the opportunity to use a robust and enterprise scale solution at an affordable price."
