Assign, review, comment and approve content with internal and external stakeholders in staged, version-controlled and fully auditable workflows.

Assemble

Search, personalize and translate up-to-date componentized content under a universal taxonomy from a single source of truth.

Publish

Select channels and then schedule and deliver intelligent content to target audiences in the exact format and timeframe they respond to the most.

Analyze

Determine true return on your content investment using unique production and consumption metrics, including usage, engagement, cost and impact data.

Use Microsoft Word for Structured, Componentized Content Authoring

Structured authoring is the foundation for content lifecycle management because it’s structured, componentized and tagged with XML metadata so it can be searched, tracked, updated and reused from one single repository.

Quark XML Author, our unique plugin for Microsoft Word, transforms the omnichannel content creation process for subject-matter experts. It provides an intuitive user interface to develop structured XML in a familiar native environment but without the usual complexity or any DITA or XML expertise.

Quark Author, our web-based structured content authoring tool, provides an alternative option to Microsoft Word to help encourage multi-platform user adoption.
