The 90 minutes webinar addressed challenges on identifying, procuring and implementing an organisation-wide enterprise solution. The webinar was presented by an industry expert from Infor and moderated by Sriraam Selvam, associate editor, PrintWeek India.
Selvam said, "We are hopeful that this initiative helps debunk several myths which holds back our printers from investing in an ERP and achieve strategic results by leveraging such solutions for decision support."
After the presentation, there was a question-and-answer session where the presenter addressed specific queries from the attendees. Among others, Animesh Kejriwal of Parksons Graphics asked a question related to scheduling of jobs. A K Mathur of Thomson Press raised a query, whether the quotation module can generate multiple versions of estimate against an enquiry and then quote only the selected one.
Infor is the world’s third largest provider of multi-domain enterprise application solution, launched their printing and publishing for general availability in mid-2012 and includes several unique features as “The Printing Estimating Workbench”, which takes every miniscule factor (weight of the paper, the length, the width, the number of sections, the number of holes, die cutting etc) into account to build a routing and bill of material for an estimate print job to the extent of even ink and oil requirements.
The webinar was hosted on 29 August, 2013 from 3pm to 4.30pm.
