Walsworth Publishing — Integrating the Enterprise

In 2006, Grant Fritch, Walsworth’s prepress technology manager, was charged with leading the company’s enterprise-wide technology initiative aimed at achieving advances in customer communications, internal workflow and systems integration.

“Integration was high on our list of criteria,” he says. “We wanted the ability to communicate via JDF and XML—something with a standard plug. The capability of integration with our existing and future ERP was really important to us.”
