Features and use cases

Quark Publishing Platform NextGen is widely used by large global enterprises in industries where regulation and compliance is critically important, for both content operations and content publishing. This includes financial services, government & public sector, aerospace & defense, discrete manufacturing, and in life sciences such as the pharmaceutical and medtech sectors. [9]

It has integration with Microsoft Office 365 and has a specific plugin for Microsoft Word called Quark XML Author which enables technical writers and subject-matter experts to write content components without having to learn XML, DITA or any other schema architecture. [10]

In addition to supporting DITA, DocBook, S1000D and others, Quark has its own open XML schema called Quark Smart Content which allows for content automation and content reuse in wider use cases across the organization outside of traditional technical writing, where more visual content can be utilized. So it can be effective for content types such as research reports, data sheets and fund marketing documents, as well as standard operating procedures (SOPs) and product labels. [11] [12] [13]
