Hello all, I would like to start an exchange of info about integrating Rampage and Metrix. I currently use Rampage (version 10.4), and I have been using Rampage for the past 7 years. I noticed recently that Rampage and Metrix had teamed up to create better integration between their products (Rampage profile info in Metrix, etc.) and I was curious about Metrix specifically and JDF workflows in general.
Some questions I have are:
• Does Metrix replace Preps as a layout program?
• Can Metrix be used alongside other MIS programs (in my case, Print Leader); or does it replace these types of programs?
• Does Metrix help at all in a non JDF workflow? If so, how?
• How do current users of Metrix, especially version 3.0, feel the product has benefitted them and their workflow?
• How do current users feel about the Rampage / Metrix integration?
Actually any info / testimonials / stories would be helpful. I just want to hear from some hands on people, not sales or promotional videos.
Also, I talked to both Rampage and Metrix (Joel) today 3/28/08, about the prospect of them creating some training to show existing users how to get these two programs working together. Rampage says documentation is in the works and they are just stating to push Metrix integration to customers, so hopefully some Webinars, videos or on site training will follow.
