Leveraging Process Integration in a Hybrid Environment Leads to Profitability, Productivity

Many suppliers to the industry are working together to meet these demands. Doing so is in the vendors' best interests, as it makes it easier for vendors' joint customers to automate business and production processes and to reduce demand on staff and operators.

Modern Litho, in Jefferson City, MO, is a stellar example of a company that has jumped on this automation bandwagon wholeheartedly. With a primary focus on publication printing, Modern Litho makes it possible for its customers to upload content for publication issues and, within moments, receive a digital proof—a process that not so long ago took a minimum of four to five days. This has been made possible by an in-depth integration of the ERP software it has from one vendor with the prepress workflow it has from another.
