Online interfacing is leading a long parade of e-ticket trends. Experts say the internal integration of systems—interconnecting job ticketing info with other information and digital asset management (DAM) systems—is another important development to watch.

"Just as traditional paper tickets have carried physical transparencies and art boards, new technologies have enabled electronic job ticketing systems to carry forward the electronic equivalent by tracking digital files along with the job ticket," says Bob Long, vice president of MetaCommunications.
