QuarkAlliance recognized technology provider

Partners who develop hardware and software that compliment Quark® software and workflows need to be fully aware of emerging technology trends. By joining the QuarkAlliance™ technology provider program, you receive the latest information on product releases and announcements, priority technical support, and more.

Having the information you need is vital to your ability to deliver Quark-based products that promote workflow productivity and interoperability. As a technology QuarkAlliance provider you will have access to all the information and support you need to develop hardware or software that enhances the value and usefulness of Quark products and solutions.

Application requirements

To become a QuarkAlliance recognized technology provider, you must:

  • Provide Quark with your product for testing; if you do not want to send your product, you must provide Quark with access to your facility to perform testing. You are responsible for the cost of providing Quark access to the technology designated for testing
  • Submit a completed QuarkAlliance U.S. or World application
  • Submit a signed Quark global non-disclosure agreement

Note: A Quark-approved product or platform does not imply that Quark warrants the item in any way.
