Hi All
Im currently assessing our existing MIS and prepress systems. We use Iteba Solprint and prinergy. Im a little concerned that our current MIS Vendor, although is a member of the CIP 4 Commitee, it is not accreditated by CIP4 to the ICS Standards. How important is it for a vendor to be accreditated. I have been looking at other MIS vendors (Tharsterns) and have been very impressed, also they are accreditated. I think iteba with say they can link to anything !!, but can they and if they are not part of the standards how long can they connect until the other vendors (Heidleberg/Prinergy etc) upgrade to the new approved standards.
Im looking to link up Prinergy (Insite/Storefront) with a mis, to reduce admin time and errors, give better customer service, and using the MIS/JDF/Data Capture information to make informed/accurate decisions on scheduling, pricing and capacity to name but a few.
This is a huge task, any advice on how to implement effeciently would be great. We currently have to link Accounts, Sales, CSR/Account exec, prepress, print, finishing, digital print (Online products/DirectMail), despatch
Any guidance on this would be a help......anything!!!.
Hope this make sense
