Quark Drops Hat in Financial Software Ring

Dipping into the $200 million it plunked down last fall for new business ventures, Quark (Denver) has formed a new company to make financial and accounting software.

Mirim LLC (Denver) will operate independently from Quark, building products for mid-size companies using financial systems. The venture is seen as a long-term investment, according to Wayne Yamamoto, Quark VP of corporate development and acting GM of Mirim, as "software applications may take several years of development." The company will operate under its own auspicies "in order to be flexible and competitive," he said. Mirim is soliciting applications for a variety of positions, contact the company for details.
