Report Analyses Quark Publishing System 7, Smart Connection Enterprise, and K4

This report compares the three most important editorial workflow and management systems —QPS 7, Smart Connection Enterprise, and Softcare K4 — focusing in particular on productivity, ease-of-use, ease-of-management, and efficiency. The aim of the report was to ascertain how the three systems compare in different editorial environments, and how easily they integrate with third-party solutions.

The report finds that the open source based Smart Connection Enterprise has superior integration with Adobe InDesign and Adobe InCopy, thus enabling users to learn the system with virtually no training. It finds that K4 is relatively similar in nature to Smart Connection Enterprise, although it is more difficult to set up and manage, and is built on top of a proprietary database.

Quark Publishing System 7 comes out as a radical and dramatic break from the past. The report applauds Quark’s decision to include a locked-down version of QuarkXPress Server.

The report concludes that Quark Publishing System 7 is on par with Smart Connection Enterprise.
