Notes:These are the key vertical markets where Quark is focusing at the enterprise levelPublishing is the companys heritageFinancial services industry represents the most rapidly growing customer base for QuarkThe answer is a wide range of organizations. Of course publishing companies such as magazine, newspaper and book publishers.However the biggest publishers of content in the world are not traditional publishers. They come from a range of sectors. Think about the volume of information that government organizations publish or the amount of content that intelligence agencies gather.The Irish Government relies on dynamic publishing to drive considerable efficiencies and benefits to the government decision-making process within the cabinet office.And in the area of high-tech manufacturing IBM Microelectronics uses dynamic publishing solutions from Quark to automate the publishing of technical documentation
This in a very graphical way is what dynamic publishing is all about. By automating the publishing process, whether that be review and approval of content and design, building of indexes and table of contents or automating page layout, we believe there is as much as a 50% time and cost saving available.
If you then look at content reuse both in the same media and to other media types, there is an additional 25% of time and cost savings.
Finally if you can move to having a concurrent publishing process, there is a further 10% time and cost saving to be made. So overall we believe up to 85% of time and cost in the publishing process can be removed by dynamic publishing. Not necessarily right now today but over the next few years.
Enterprise dynamic publishing is based on the use of smart, or structured XML, content which we specialize in.Smart XML content really means media-independent components of information. By authoring small information components not associated with a media or format, they can be assembled dynamically for different publications and audiences.This is important because format-free content is the foundation for automating your publishing process, which speeds up the delivery of information to more channels. It also enables reuse of those components of information and lets you repurpose them for different publications. Plus, you can associate metadata with each information component so that specific information is discoverable, or easier to find.Need to reword bullets to align with new web content and messaging. New graphic
For example, here you can see how different content components are used in different publications produced for different media types. Headlines are reused across data sheets and websites as well as iPad publications, as are legal descriptions, images, and in the case of web and digital output you can even reuse videos and multi-media assets.TO DO: Chris clean up to ensure clear illustration. What is Design Chrome and Formatting and why ?
Serviceoriented Architecture (SOA)SOA-based systems such as Quark Publishing Platform are divided into independent components that communicate via clearly defined protocols. This independence makes it possible to connect/inter-operate with other business systems in large business ecosystems. This results in a more stable, scalable system that's easy to upgrade and simple to expand, which means you can add functionality as business needs arise, using internal development resources or a partner.ArchitectureClick to enlargeSpring Framework Java/J2EEThis industry-standard, open-source application framework for the Java platform is used to blend components into a single coherent system. Components of Quark Publishing Platform can easily be changed without affecting the system as a whole.JavaJava, an object-oriented, high-level programming language, allows porting software to any computer. The Quark Publishing Platform Server is 100% pure Java, which allows it to be hardware- and operating system-independent. This gives you multiple options when selecting your hardware infrastructure.WebServicesWeb services support machine-to-machine interactions over a network, such as the Internet, and execute on a remote system hosting the services. Web services are used to connect Quark Publishing Platform to other applications and systems. Quark Publishing Platform has an embedded Web Server Apache Tomcat that provides an environment for Java code to run in cooperation with a Web server. This provides numerous connectivity and integration points. In fact, Quark Publishing Platform can be deployed within other web containers like IBM WebSphere and Oracle WebLogic as well.OperatingSystemsQuark has certified Quark Publishing Platform Server on Mac OS速 X, Mac OS X Server, and Windows速 Server Enterprise. Quark Publishing System Server is certified on VMWare速 ESXi. For detailed system requirements please referRelationalDatabasesQuark Publishing Platform stores the attributes required for publishing in relational databases. Quark Publishing Platform is certified with Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise (including the latest SQL Server 2012), and Oracle速 11i.
This focus on new industries and solving their specific dynamic publishing challenges has been hugely successful in both cementing Quarks publishing clients, winning new ones and growing a substantial footprint in new industries. And I hope you understand that were not talking about selling copies of QuarkXPress here. Standard and Poors is building an entire publishing platform based on Quark Enterprise Solutions, the Irish Government runs their entire cabinet process using Quark technology with more than 6,000 government workers across 15 departments part of the system. IBM Microelectronics creates all of their technical documentation using Quark Enterprise Solutions and and Quarks structuring authoring tools have become the mainstay of the US intelligence agencies. These are just a few examples and we can speak to many more in detail.
Strong technology partnerships are also very important. Quark has a strategic partnership with IBM, is an IBM Software Value Plus Partner and as an example we were the only software partner on the IBM Booth at the IBM Information OnDemand Conference. Our partnership with Microsoft is equally strong and outside of the multiple initiatives we have around the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, we were recently a launch partner with Microsoft for SQL 2012. Obviously we work closely with Apple, particularly on a development level. We have integrations with leading content management solutions such as IBM FileNet and Microsoft SharePoint as well as a number of other technology partners.
