Subject: OASIS Member News: Infoteria and Quark Form Strategic Alliance
Boston, MA and Tokyo, Japan-November 27, 2000-Infoteria Corporation, the XML software company, announced a strategic alliance with Quark Japan. Quark Japan is part of U.S.-based Quark Inc., which develops and markets the industry-leading Quark XPress desktop publishing system. Quark has committed to XML to support its strategy of web-based "media-independent publishing." New Quark offerings for web-based publishing include avenue.quark, which converts Quark XPress content to XML. Under its new alliance with Infoteria, Quark will provide advanced XML capabilities to users of Quark XPress, including schema design capabilities and the ability to convert to new schema languages, which will make it easier for Quark XPress content to be widely exchanged via local area networks, wide area networks, and the Internet. Yuko Hayakawa, Representative Director of Quark Japan, commented, "In addition to being widely used in printing, publishing, and design, Quark XPress is used by companies in the manufacturing, finance, insurance, retail, and service industries to store their valuable data as digital assets. For industries in which e-business and e-commerce are becoming increasingly important, providing the environment in which these assets can be repeatedly used is the first step into the 21st Century business world. That door was opened by avenue.quark. Infoteria's solution set will allow us to reach our goals most efficiently and effectively." In addition to providing new capabilities to Quark XPress users immediately, the alliance between Quark and Infoteria will result in joint development and marketing of new web publishing solutions and XML training options.
