Looking for recommendations on an expansive MIS that includes W2P, estimating, direct mail and wide format, CRM, etc.

More specifically: A cloud/SaaS based MIS that covers web-2-print, wide format, mailing, digital, conventional, promotional products, fulfillment, CRM, data collection, job costing, job tracking, accounting, etc.

I'm not even sure if such a thing exists, but we've been using an older MIS along with a separate W2P platform that do not integrate, and are looking to update to a new platform for the entire company. We do everything from digital/offset/wide format/mail/promotionals/etc. and hoping to find a system that can handle 100% of this.

The closest option I'm familiar with is Printer's Software (Aleyant) and their various modules, which I've used some of previously for w2p, but hoping for suggestions from shops that have anything similar.

*Edit - Aside from comments so far, we've also started looking at EFI Pace and Avanti Slingshot as options.

Aleyant's PrintJobManager covers all of these items. Web to Print Solutions From Aleyant Systems
This is one we're considering, I used their w2p platform for a while (Pressero) at my previous company so I'm very familiar with that, but we never looked into an MIS there.

We've been using PrintIQ for about 3+ years now, and have it to the point where it performs all of the features you appear to be seeking. I can't say how many add'l modules it takes to get there, but somebody in our organization may be able to provide that info if you're interested.

We've also gotten to a point where Enfocus Switch is handling many jobs "lights out" from submission to proofing to on-press.
