Management Information Systems — A Hit with Printers

In his On Demand presentation, Jay Mandarino, president of C.J. Graphics, listed knowing the shop’s real costs, eliminating the rekeying of job data over and over, and enabling real-time job tracking as top bullet points for why C.J. Graphics replaced its MIS. The diverse company, based in Toronto, needed a system that could support its full range of printing capabilities—including digital, large-format and offset printing—as well as value-added services such as mailing and fulfillment. In addition, management has established a requirement that all new equipment it acquires be JDF (Job Definition Format) compatible.
