Quark Strengthens Commitment to Microsoft to Address Global Enterprise Content Lifecycle Management Challenges

Quark Software, the global provider of content automation,
intelligence and design software, today announced it has expanded
its collaboration with Microsoft to extend the reach of Quark
Publishing Platform (QPP) NextGen, its specialist enterprise
content lifecycle management solution for automating highly
regulated, complex and compliance-controlled content. The extended
commitment gives global organizations access to the most complete
set of content technology tools to manage each phase of the content
lifecycle, from creation to publishing and everything in between.
Under the terms of the agreement, QPP NextGen’s AI-powered
content technology solutions will enable organizations to easily
adopt, connect and integrate Quark’s purpose-built solutions in the
cloud anywhere, any time, harvesting the benefits of existing
ecosystem technologies such as Microsoft Azure OpenAI, Microsoft
Data Factory, Microsoft Document Intelligence and Microsoft Power
Automate to support their enterprise content and AI strategies.
Microsoft Azure has become the defacto cloud platform of choice
for enterprises as they build, deploy and manage business
applications at scale. And as content plays a direct role in
supporting business growth, organizations are overhauling their
content infrastructure to support today’s digital output
preference. They seek easily accessible tools to address
complexities associated with creating and publishing omnichannel
content at scale that adheres to stringent regulatory and
compliance requirements that vary by industry and geography. QPP
NextGen availability in the Microsoft Azure marketplace will offer
enterprises an easy on ramp to the most robust set of tools to
address any content management challenge.
“We recognized long ago that enterprises put trust in – and
standardized on – Microsoft to fuel their business,” said Martin
Owen, CEO at Quark. “QPP NextGen is currently fully integrated with
Microsoft Office 365, making it simple for content teams to
modernize their content creation and publishing processes without
having to change the way they work. Today, we’re reinforcing our
commitment to being on a journey with Microsoft and as AI adoption
takes center stage for many organizations, we are there to support
their investment with Azure AI tools to help them understand how AI
can support their content strategy objectives.”
“Quark has helped revolutionize the digital publishing industry
with software that addresses every enterprise content challenge,”
said James Chadwick, Head of ISV, Microsoft UK. “We’re excited to
develop this relationship and give even more organizations access
to the software tools to modernize their content operations.”
QPP NextGen will be available in the Azure marketplace later
this year. The company will provide a seamless path for current
users interested in migrating to Azure.
