Case Study: De Persgroep achieves 95% automated iPad and iPhone publishing with Quark Publishing Platform

Leading Benelux media group automates 95 percent of iPad and iPhone publishing workflow with Quark Publishing Platform

de Persgroep Publishing is a leading Benelux media group (newspapers, magazines, TV, radio and online) with a total audience of over 10 million. Faced with the need to deliver high‑quality, full‑color interactive editions for iPad and iPhone across more than 17 publications and 40 regional editions, they needed a fast, cost‑efficient solution that wouldn’t require a separate digital team.

Using Quark Publishing Platform with QuarkXPress, Quark CopyDesk, dio:content and an in‑house Java “iPaper Platform” and editor, de Persgroep automated content structuring and XML output to integrate print and digital workflows. The system automates 95% of digital publishing, produces iPad pages in about one minute each, required no extra staff, and supports distribution of 3 million print copies daily and roughly 200,000 iPad downloads per week.
