DENVER, CO – Quark announced today the availability of a new case study detailing how 500 employees at Boehringer Ingelheim use Quark XML Author for the electronic complication and publication of test specifications and analytical methods. Boehringer Ingelheim, headquartered in Germany, researches, develops, produces, and markets pharmaceuticals around the world. With 47,400 employees it is one of the top 20 largest pharmaceuticals company in the world.

When creating, managing, and publishing test specifications and analytical methods, the highest standards for security and consistency must be met.
