AUD$100,000? Really?
When I enquired about it (very early on in the piece I must admit) they said around AUD$40,000 starting point.
I'm sure they even did me an official quote. We couldn't afford it at that stage I'm afraid.
It's intelligent when it generates a job plan, but although built on the JDF platform (that was their edge, being the first structured on JDF) it wouldn't output JDF imposition data for prepress. They said that would be custom development for each individual need.
The ultimate I believe is getting an MIS which thoroughly communicates with Metrix the Intelligent Layout Calculator. Williamson printing have done exactly that. From web front to completion! Although I've heard that Vistaprint has the ultimate in Automation - end to end!
