Quark Software, the global provider of content automation, intelligence and design software, announced the newest release of Quark Publishing Platform (QPP) NextGen, its cloud-based content automation platform that simplifies the complexities associated with the entire enterprise content lifecycle management process, from creation to consumption, in a fully integrated CCMS.
QPP NextGen v4.0 now includes Semantic AI to accelerate the discovery and reuse of existing content within unstructured PDF content. Users can cut down hours associated with searching through unstructured content manually and quickly find and reuse the most accurate, business-approved content components for new content authoring and publishing opportunities. Additionally, new Microsoft Azure Data Factory integration fuels a self-service approach for content teams to bring data from other business systems, including Oracle and Snowflake, to enhance the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of the content lifecycle.
“Content automation has emerged as a key enabler in helping organizations optimize enterprise content processes and deliver personalized content that achieves desired business results,” said Martin Owen, CEO at Quark. “We know content and continually innovate across QPP NextGen to give highly regulated organizations the necessary tools to address any content complexity. We also know the opportunity AI presents to content processes so we are infusing even more AI capabilities into our content technologies to help organizations execute successful content strategies that directly contribute to business success.”
According to IDC Research’s State of Content Services: Managing Enterprise Content Report, 60% of content is at least somewhat centralized within organizations. However, content is frequently replicated unnecessarily and on average, 10 different solutions are used to manage content. 1
With QPP NextGen v4.0, Quark has incorporated additional features into its enterprise AI copilot and assistant, Quarky, which operates in collaboration with customers’ own AI services and LLMs. New Semantic AI capabilities help content teams accelerate the discovery, adoption and conversion of unstructured content within a centralized location and via a natural language search.
