Excerpt from Award Summary – Quark and Dynamic Publishing
Founded in 1981, Quark, an expert in desktop publishing solutions, entered the dynamic publishing space in 2008. The move was an acknowledgement of the growing potential of the dynamic publishing market, with opportunities stemming in the form of greater device proliferation and increasing zeal for content re-monetization. Within this arena, Quark made strong moves acquiring in.Vision (2008) and Gluon (2009) during the initial stages, and most recently added Mobile IQ (2012) to strengthen its product portfolio. Over the years, it has also organically strengthened its offerings for this market, developing comprehensive, end-to-end publishing solutions right from content creation to automation, all the way through to multi-channel delivery. Quark fully acknowledges the level of fragmentation in the device hardware, operating system platform, App stores, and geography-specific guidelines, and it was among the earliest vendors to fully solve this challenge for publishers.
