Denver, CO - Aug 21, 2001 - Quark Inc., a leading developer of tools and technologies for media-independent publishing, today announced a strategic alliance with Database Publishing Consultants Inc.

"DPCI has extensive knowledge and experience with Quark technology, and is able to translate that expertise into customer benefits."

Testimonials

Our previous system offered minimal flexibility and was cumbersome to use, oftentimes impacting our ability to hit publishing deadlines. Through the implementation of K4, DPCI enabled us to modernize our workflow operations, tightly integrate editorial and production activities, and most importantly put out quality journalism for our readers. In the end, DPCI has allowed us to publish more accurately and quickly, saving us production hours each day.
