Government and Intelligence Community

Several Presidential Executive Orders and Intelligence Community Directives assert that information authoring and sharing are essential components of Homeland Security.

Intelligence organizations can meet these directives head on – and successfully address the organizational and technology challenges they present – with Quark® XML Author.

Quark XML Author for Microsoft® Word is specifically designed for intelligence authoring and is ready to deploy off-the shelf.

Quark XML Author for Microsoft Word hides the complexity of XML from analysts who are under pressure to produce content and have no time to learn new technologies. Rather than force them to use complex XML syntax, Quark XML Author frees analysts to focus on creating intelligence in the familiar Microsoft Word application that they use today.

Customers

Customers depend on Quark XML Author when they have large knowledge management applications that require broad user deployment of XML documents and rigorous security requirements. For example:

  • Quark products were selected as the standard for intelligence authoring and collaboration throughout the United States Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and its constituent commands, resulting in the purchase of 8,500 licenses for authoring of XML top secret documents in the DIA and major implementations among other US and allied intelligence agencies.
  • Quark was awarded the highly-competitive three-year draw-down contract for the Irish eGovernment XML infrastructure, resulting in a government-wide deployment of XML authoring of all legislative and other memoranda that are submitted to the Irish Cabinet Office.
