Craig Andersen, Chief Operating Officer of EPMS commented on the success of the installation. “EPMS has produced a management system that is noted for its ability to help printing companies streamline their workflow and effectively manage print production.  The movement towards lean manufacturing over the past few years has made ownership of a robust print management system a number one priority in companies that have embraced the lean manufacturing techniques. We knew that “going lean” was a high priority for Magna IV, and we are delighted that Enterprise was a critical factor in helping them employ “lean” techniques in their plant.

Kristi Dannelly, Chief Operating Officer for Magna IV also commented.  “When Magna IV Communications decided to set about incorporating lean manufacturing techniques in their operations and administrative workflows, the first order of business was to replace its existing Management Information System.  After a year long due diligence process, we selected EPMS’ Enterprise system because of its robust features, seamless integration between modules and the willingness of EPMS leadership to make custom modifications for us.  Out of all the systems we reviewed, Enterprise was the only system to offer true end-to-end automation, from receiving Web2Print storefront orders, auto-creating jobs, and auto-invoicing and shipping.  After 9 months of being live on Enterprise, Magna IV has achieved significant reductions in the touch points necessary to process jobs.”
