Hey Adobe! What About In-plants?
I think it is safe to assume that Adobe plans to move forward and begin development of products with Web-to-print in the near future. Our responsibility as in-plant managers is to analyze and report to upper management in our organizations the impact of expanded Web-to-print functionality in Adobe products on our business processes and policies. These might include security, confidentiality, cost, brand/image and policy/legal concerns. It is important that we start now to educate our colleagues, especially in the Information Technology and Marketing areas, so that as they hear about the issue from other forums, they can frame it within the context of the impact on their organizations.
