ASU Enjoys the MIS Advantage
"We trained everyone here in about five minutes," she says.
Avanti invested heavily to reduce the level of effort and amount of time required to get the system up and running. Slingshot was built to support multiple lines of business including offset, digital, wide-format, fulfillment, mailing and marketing services, most of which ASU's Print & Imaging Lab provides. Inside its 6,500-square-foot facility the in-plant operates a seven-color HP Indigo 5500 digital color press, a two-color Heidelberg QuickMaster 42, a Halm envelope press, a PSI digital envelope printer and HP Designjet wide-format printers, including a new HP Latex 260. Thanks to Slingshot, Skoglund can quickly see which equipment is available for more work.
