DTS Medien uses QuarkXPress Server 7 for ISY3 Web-to-print solutions
Boosts speed, minimizes errors, cuts costs: Based on Quark's server technology, ISY3 optimizes the whole process of media production, integrating QuarkXPress Server 7 as OEM partner.
HAMBURG, GERMANY - 2/28/2008 -
Quark Inc. announced today that DTS
Medien, an established company offering IT solutions to the print and media
sector for more than 20 years, has developed a QuarkXPress Server 7 based
Web-to-print application called ISY3. With QuarkXPress Server 7 and ISY3, the
process of media production has become faster, making it easier to avoid errors
and cut costs whilst also maintaining compliance with Corporate Identity
guidelines.
This server-based solution gives users the opportunity to use QuarkXPress
features in standardised procedures via their Web browser, without needing any
specialist knowledge. ABICOR Binzel, a globally represented medium-sized
business that specializes in the development and production of air-cooled
welding and cutting torches, is adopting ISY3 as its translation management
solution. QuarkXPress Server 7 and ISY3 are replacing very complex and current
manual translation processes. Besides workflow and management functions, an
essential feature of the new translation management system is the fact that
translators, layout artists, proofreaders and others involved in the process can
see a reliable preview of the translated document live at any time via the Web
browser. This lets them switch at will between the current language version and
the original master version. It is even possible to view both simultaneously in
real time. Supervision and to-do list functions make it possible to carry out
all working steps for the entire workflow (translation, layout, proofing) via
the Web browser. In addition, users don’t need to work on native QuarkXPress
documents, yet the design power of QuarkXPress 7 can be used to the
full.
Also relying on ISY3 is Deutsche Genossenschafts-Verlag eG (DG
VERLAG), partner and service provider for Volksbanken and Raiffeisenbanken
(banking houses), for goods- and service-providing cooperatives, and for the
enterprises in the main German cooperative association. The Wiesbaden-based
media, trading and IT consultancy firm has integrated the new Web-to-print
solution into its "GenoBuy" Internet platform. It thereby enables its clients to
produce printed material that are compliant with Corporate Identity guidelines,
such as ads, brochures and flyers, and other high-quality customised
communication devices, using a simple Web browser and without any knowledge of
QuarkXPress, in no time at all. These materials can be produced straight away
without any additional manual operations or corrections. Quark’s server
technology and ISY3 take care of process optimisation and standardisation.
Thomas Eusterholz, CEO of DTS Medien, on Quark’s server technology: "The
fundamental argument in favour of choosing QuarkXPress Server 7 as the basic
technology was our clients’ desire to use QuarkXPress 7 for creative document
design. Reasons such as performance and stability were also points in favour of
Quark’s server technology, along with the excellent API for integration into the
particular IT environment in question. Quark’s support at all levels - from
sales to development - is exemplary; challenges are mainly resolved quickly,
without any red tape and in keeping with the project."
Marko Pagel,
partner manager Central Europe at Quark, comments: "On the one hand, working
processes in many sectors are becoming increasingly complex; while on the other
hand, they have to be dealt with more quickly, cheaply, and to certain
standards. The combination of products and add-ons in the ISY3 software suite
make client-specific solutions possible for virtually every sector of media
production - making even extremely individual applications available as
standard. In this way, DTS Medien is taking current sector trends into account
and delivering outstanding tools for cost-effective media
production."
