Free WhatTheyThink webinar, sponsored by EFI, discusses successful workflow automation implementations 

WhatTheyThink today announced the opportunity for industry professionals to attend a free printing industry educational webinar, Tricks of the Trade in Workflow Automation. The session will be moderated by WhatTheyThink Senior Editor Cary Sherburne and feature three panelists who have transformed their businesses by automating workflow from order entry through shipping and invoicing. The session is scheduled for Tuesday, October 25th, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM EDT (-4 GMT). 

Free registration is available by visiting WhatTheyThink.com and selecting the Webinars tab.

“As an industry, we’ve been talking for some time about the need to automate workflow to reduce labor, cycle time and costs,” said Sherburne. “But for many companies, the magic formula has been elusive. In this session, you will hear from three very different organizations how they have overcome these challenges using technology you may already have in your shop to deliver faster turn times, higher color quality and less operator intervention.”

Sherburne will be joined by:

• Paul Sprow, Manager of Digital Production and Mail Center for Arlington County, Virginia. With an eye toward being the County's sole source for printing and mail needs, Paul has made his department key in efficiency, cost effectiveness, and outstanding customer service.
• Dave Wray, Workflow Specialist at CyberChrome, Inc. His primary role is improving speed and consistency in the operation using the latest technology and software solutions. He works with the customer service, prepress and pressroom departments to streamline file prep, job submission and other workflow elements.
• Jason Biggs, President & COO, ZenPrint. Under Jason’s leadership, the company has implemented a blend of home-grown and packaged software solutions for a fully automated workflow driving its five digital presses from a single interface.

“We are especially pleased to have these forward-thinking companies participating in this webinar,” said Eric Vessels, President of WhatTheyThink. “We are looking forward to hearing more about how they have leveraged technologies from EFI and other suppliers to streamline their operations, improving throughput and profitability. We appreciate the generosity of EFI in sponsoring this important industry event, making it available to our viewers at no charge.”

Attendees will be able to participate in a live question and answer session to get the most from the experience and will be able to view and listen to the presentation using a standard Internet browser with audio streamed via computer.
