JDF Update -- Fulfilling the Promise

With a fully implemented cross-vendor JDF-enabled workflow, customers can even assess the viability of a job prior to submitting it: Will the design result in the job being too expensive, too time-consuming? These are the types of things that often inform the buying decisions for a savvy buyer. To the extent an effective self-service model is utilized, productivity is enhanced for both the customer and the service provider. The result is improved cash flow and job throughput for the service provider, and improved customer convenience.
