Alfresco and Easypress Do ECM for Publishers
Alfresco, an open source Enterprise Content Management solutions provider, announced that they now have an OEM agreement with Easypress Technologies for their new Atomik Dynamic Publisher product. The duo also leverage QuarkXPress, delivering a new breed of publishing solutions.
John Powell, CEO of Alfresco Software Inc., said in a statement, "Alfresco is recognized in the market as the leading open source enterprise content management solution and is rapidly becoming the open source ECM of choice for publishing. The domain knowledge that Easypress Technologies bring is critical to continuing our significant momentum in the publishing market. We see Atomik Dynamic Publisher as our leading collaborative publishing solution, building upon the strengths of Alfresco’s OEM server technology."
James Macfarlane, founder of Easypress Technologies, said: "At the heart of Atomik Dynamic Publisher, launched last month, are two platform products; Alfresco’s leading content management Enterprise Server and QuarkXPress Server 7.Q" Macfarlane said of the partnership: "We have combined these two product platforms to form one of the leading collaborative publishing solutions available today for remote browser-based editing of QuarkXPress documents."
Macfarlane went on to outline Easypress Technologies’ OEM agreement with Alfresco Software Inc. "As part of the underling strength of our Atomik Dynamic Publisher solution we have tightly integrated the core strengths of Alfresco into each of our collaborative publishing applications". He continued: "Alfresco provides us with a flexible J2EE platform to support document and content management, workflow, collaboration and document version control from within Atomik Dynamic Publisher in a flexible yet simple to operate way." These built-in features within the Alfresco Enterprise Server product allows Atomik Dynamic Publisher to provide and manage access in a publishing workflow by building a comprehensive audit trail of changes made to a document throughout its online revision life cycle.
Atomik Dynamic Publisher allows online browser based editing access to complete QuarkXPress 7 documents by editors from anywhere in the world, even including those users who have not been trained on QuarkXPress. Secure access is provided to content, allowing users to see the changes they are making on the QuarkXPress page immediately. The software also provides a sophisticated editorial approval process and it aims to significantly reduce the costs of QuarkXPress content production.
Charles Delamain, CEO of Easypress Technologies, said: "This OEM agreement with Alfresco is another significant step forward for our business and provides Easypress technologies with Enterprise strength products within the publishing market. Quark’s superb technologies combined with Alfresco’s leading Enterprise platform for document and content management allow us to create a truly enterprise-wide market-leading product."
