MIS Improves Efficiencies at Ashland University

"Short-run four-color is pretty much our niche market," says Jones, who has been with the in-plant for 14 years. Typical jobs include post cards, newsletters, recruitment brochures and product spec sheets.

When he started his search for an MIS system, Jones had several objectives. He wanted a cost-effective solution that would fit an operation with both offset and digital equipment. It had to provide easy-to-use online order submissions. He wanted the ability to easily search the entire database and locate past jobs. And, most importantly, it had to eliminate time-consuming data entry for both the shop personnel and the business office, which manages the chargeback process.
