By enabling self-serve access over the web, QuarkXPress Server 7 supports distribution and collaboration amongst creative teams and groups outside of the creative workflow, it is claimed.
In addition, QuarkXPress Server 7 enables users to develop data-driven applications and deploy them to automate production, eliminate redundant steps and publish to multiple channels.
Michael Mendoza, global group IT director of Metro International, commented: "In an increasingly competitive market, we recognise the importance of reducing costs and improving efficiency without sacrificing quality.
QuarkXPress Sever 7 enables us to reduce cycle times by automating the production workflow." He added: "Jobs are routed to multiple workgroups, departments, or organisations for online review and approval.
With QuarkXPress Server 7, we are well on our way to automating design localisation, pagination, and content and ad placement.
This is a powerful tool as it will enable us to create one global design, which can then be shared and synchronised to all countries automatically." And Mendoza continued: "In addition, QuarkXPress Server enables us to exploit existing assets, including QuarkXPress layouts and templates and editorial and production systems.
This extends the value of QuarkXPress 7 as it allows us to use our existing QuarkXPress content and repurpose it for delivery to new channels." Nick Howard, Quark director of enterprise products, said: "We're delighted that Metro International has chosen to implement QuarkXPress Server 7 in to their production workflow to gain greater efficiency and automate their business processes.
We see this as a validation of the strategic direction of the product group and their confidence in Quark as a company to deliver innovative ground breaking technologies that support the creation and delivery of highly persuasive on-demand creative communications.".
