Both the new Hiflex Executive Information-Cockpit “EIS” and the topic “automatic imposition” in the prepress system via Hiflex JDF-StrippingParams played further important roles in the demonstrations.
The integrated EIS Cockpit provides and displays user specific data held in the Hiflex central database and relating to all aspects of their business. This information can be viewed graphically or numerically, enabling a top view of vital business information. Executives can see top level information about composite company sales, profit, forecasting and productivity analysis. Marketing and Sales people can view forecasting and profit on a per customer, per job or market segment basis. Likewise, production people can view details on a per job, or even per activity, basis so that they can better understand how to run the business. Reports can be customized and viewed real-time and the information is – in contrast to other EIS systems - directly integrated in the Hiflex user interface. Key data is therefore always visible at a glance, far improving and supporting substantiated business decisions.
