PRESS RELEASE

DENVER – November 6, 2006 – Raymond Schiavone, Quark’s new President and Chief Executive Officer, will wel­come OEM and System Integrators to the company’s new train­ing facil­i­ty for dis­cus­sion of enter­prise products. 

Quark Inc. announced today that it is tak­ing the wraps off its new train­ing facil­i­ty at its Denver head­quar­ters when more than 50 part­ners will attend a con­fer­ence on Quark’s lat­est offer­ings in the enter­prise tech­nol­o­gy space.

“We’ve embraced a new spir­it of inno­va­tion at Quark,” said Richard Pasewark, senior vice pres­i­dent of sales (Americas) and mar­ket­ing. “We’ve devel­oped and released inno­v­a­tive prod­ucts. We’ve worked hard to sup­port our chan­nel part­ners. We’re mov­ing in pos­i­tive directions.”

Quark’s OEM and System Integrator Conference will run November 8 ‑10. The event will fea­ture spe­cial guest speak­ers and thought lead­ers from var­i­ous indus­tries to pro­vide their per­spec­tives on the evolv­ing pub­lish­ing par­a­digm. Partner appear­ances will include Apple Computer Inc., Canon USA Inc., FileMaker Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company Inc., InfoTrends and third par­ty XTensions developers.

The three day long event will include mes­sages for dif­fer­ent stake­hold­ers. The con­fer­ence has been divid­ed into two dis­tinct tracks that will deliv­er cru­cial infor­ma­tion specif­i­cal­ly tar­get­ed to help part­ner suc­cess. The busi­ness track will help par­tic­i­pants gain a com­pre­hen­sive under­stand­ing of Quark sales and mar­ket­ing pro­grams to dri­ve sales in the dynam­ic pub­lish­ing solu­tions mar­ket. The tech­ni­cal track will pro­vide in-depth insight on how part­ners can cre­ate unique prod­ucts and client solu­tions with Quark technology.

“Our goal is to ensure that our part­ners are well-equipped with mean­ing­ful tech­ni­cal and mar­ket knowl­edge along with the trust that Quark stands behind them,” said Doug Liles, Strategic Business Development Manager at Quark.

Quark has been work­ing with OEM devel­op­ers and sys­tem inte­gra­tors in order to address the needs of spe­cif­ic cus­tomers. Quark’s part­ner­ship pro­gram involves devel­op­ers that cre­ate and sup­port effec­tive solu­tions pow­ered by QuarkXPress Server 7.

QuarkXPress Server 7 com­bines the design pow­er and col­lab­o­ra­tion func­tion­al­i­ty of QuarkXPress with proven server-based per­for­mance to help soft­ware devel­op­ers and sys­tem inte­gra­tors meet end cus­tomer demands.

About QuarkXPress Server
QuarkXPress Server is the appli­ca­tion tech­nol­o­gy for­mer­ly known as Quark Dynamic Document Server (QuarkDDS). The new name more accu­rate­ly reflects the product’s core QuarkXPress design-and-print func­tion­al­i­ty in addi­tion to its inte­gra­tion and automa­tion capa­bil­i­ties. Quark sys­tem inte­gra­tor and OEM part­ners have already deployed this tech­nol­o­gy in many pro­duc­tion envi­ron­ments. References to these appli­ca­tions include solu­tions deployed under both names: QuarkDDS and QuarkXPress Server.
