Easypress Technologies and Alfresco Software Inc sign ground-breaking OEM agreement in collaborative publishing

London - January 02, 2007 - Easypress Technologies, a leading developer of XML and collaborative publishing solutions for QuarkXPress and Adobe InDesign, today announced an OEM agreement to support the launch of their new Atomik Dynamic Publisher product, which works in conjunction with the new QuarkXPress Server 7 from Quark.

"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," said James Macfarlane, the founder of Easypress Technologies. "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."

James Macfarlane outlined 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". Macfarlane 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 in 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 for 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."
