OASIS Member News: Infoteria and Quark Form Strategic Alliance

[DSenay@infoteria.com]

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.

"This alliance expands the reach of our customers," said Tim Browne, CEO of
Infoteria.  "Infoteria's mission is to bring about borderless communication
between individuals and businesses, so we are delighted to be part of
Quark's strategy to promote and enable media-independent publishing."

and communications, was established in 1996 as a member of the Quark Inc.
(USA) group. Among its products are Quark XPress TM, Quark XPress Passport
