Build vs. buy a solution

You can choose to work with Quark’s extensive network of experienced, authorized independent software developers and system integrators to implement your QuarkXPress Server solution, or you can build your own solution with our Web services toolkit, the Web Integration Guide.

Buying a solution

Quark partners use the proven technology of QuarkXPress Server to provide dynamic publishing solutions for applications including Web-to-print, variable data publishing (VDP), ad building, catalog generation, on-demand PDF generation, personalization and one-to-one marketing. Time constraints or lack of experienced developers may require that you reach out to our partner community to get the solution that you need. You may find that what you need has already been built!

Building a solution

Some customers may choose to develop directly with QuarkXPress Server to build a custom solution by leveraging in-house skills and applications such as a content management system. This is an ideal approach for providers of hosted solutions. Following are some key requirements you should consider before making a decision to develop a QuarkXPress Server solution in-house.

• Development skills: Experience in Web development, C++, and QuarkXTensions software
• Time-to-market: Time frame for delivery
• Cost: Total cost of ownership (development cost vs. maintenance cost)
• Process management: Taking the idea from concept to delivery which includes  project concept and scope, programming, integration with other systems, testing, and going live
• Support: Technical staff to handle on-going support questions and processes for managing application enhancements
