IPMA 2001 Conference In-plants In A Changing World

Web-based Job Submission

At a panel entitled "Intranet Ideas for In-plants," moderated by IPG Editor Bob Neubauer, David German, of the City and County of San Francisco, explained the steps his in-plant took to start receiving jobs digitally via the Web. At first, the city's IT department tried to create an e-commerce system, but it proved costly and the programmers didn't understand printing. German examined the offerings of many e-commerce providers before determining that Printerpresence.com would enable his operation to accept a diverse amount of work via the intranet.
