Step 1: Create

Your dynamic publishing process begins with creating and assembling reusable components of information. You can write new copy, integrate existing text, or pull in graphics, images, or videos. As authors create and assemble content, designers retain creative control as they separately design and layout the templates into which this content flows.

Many content creation tools can be used with Quark DPS. Quark's offerings are: QuarkXPress®, QuarkCopyDesk®, and Xpress Author™ for Microsoft® Word.

Step 2: Manage

Quark DPS provides management of both content and process. Authors store their content in a central repository so that it’s easily accessible for further review, versioning, and processing. A powerful collaborative workflow system automatically routes your content to different people or destinations for approval, copy editing, localization, or any other process defined in your workflow.

The automated workflow system in Quark DPS is Quark Publishing System. Quark DPS also integrates with other workflow systems.

Step 3: Publish

When all of the components of information for a publication have been completed, Quark DPS automatically renders media-independent content to presentation formats such as print, Web, and e-mail. You can select which files to produce or have the application automatically produce pre-defined formats.

QuarkXPress Server and Quark Transformation Engine are used to publish to print and electronic media.

Step 4: Deliver

Quark DPS delivers published material directly to places where it can be consumed, including Web sites, e-mail marketing platforms, pre-press systems, printers, and content management systems integrated into Quark DPS. By tailoring and automating the delivery process, Quark DPS increases the efficiency and responsiveness of your organization.

Continually Improve

But that’s not the end of it. Quark DPS supports continual improvement of content, templates, and process, allowing you to improve the efficiency and responsiveness of your organization.

Because you want to make improvements to your content and release new versions frequently, you can use Quark DPS to automate the process so that you can quickly update, re-publish and re-distribute improved information. You can revise templates, add new formats, and change the workflow to meet changing processes. Or you can change what’s published, how frequently information is published, and to which channels you publish based on customer or market demands. Quark DPS is designed to meet your specific dynamic publishing needs.
