Quark Inc. today announced that Univers Workplace Benefits, the leader in employee benefit communications and enrollment solutions, is using QuarkXPress Publishing System® 7 (QPS® 7) collaborative workflow system to produce integrated communications camp

DENVER - 1/22/2008 -

Univers Workplace Benefits is the nation’s leading benefit communications and enrollment solutions provider, communicating to approximately 500,000 individuals about their benefits every year. The company offers its services to companies ranging from small start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. Employers rely on Univers to educate their workforce and increase benefit participation. As part of its services, Univers creates integrated employee communication campaigns designed to generate employees’ participation in the benefit enrollment process.

The campaigns that Univers creates for its clients include booklets, one-page fliers, postcards, posters and electronic communications. Univers chose QPS 7 because it enables the company to repurpose specific client content across this broad range of communications, while reducing errors. QPS 7 helps Universe maintain version control throughout its multifaceted campaign materials and eliminates redundant steps in its workflow for improved productivity. Owing to its platform-independence, QPS 7 supports Univers employees in both Mac and Windows environments. Further, Univers benefits from the real-time project status updates that QPS 7 provides.

"Univers juggles as many as 20 client campaigns at one time, which makes workflow efficiency critical to us," said Ralph Morano, vice president of communications for Univers Workplace Benefits. "QPS 7 enables us to work fast without compromising accuracy, and offers us flexibility to handle last minute content revisions without jeopardizing deadlines. Just as important, it will allow content writers in our Florida and California operations centers to collaborate seamlessly with our New Jersey-based graphic design and production department."

"QPS 7 helps companies like Univers manage demanding editorial, creative, and production workflows for improved productivity, output and cost-effectiveness," said Linda Chase, general manager, QPS, Quark. "We have been very pleased to work with them to deliver a system that meets their dynamic business needs while ensuring that their clients receive high-quality communications with every open enrolment campaign."
