Join WhatTheyThink contributor Pat McGrew and Pixel Dot Consulting’s Ryan McAbee as they look at the latest trends in software and workflow—which are not the same things! In particular, they will look at how the cloud—“that big, fluffy ghost that lives in our networks”—is transforming virtually every aspect of the print business in shops of all sizes.

The opportunities of cloud computing, cloud services, and cloud-enabled training bring more power to print manufacturing than we could have imagined a decade ago. The cloud offers seemingly endless storage and computing to power solutions that are changing how and where we work. Join us as we explore the current state of the cloud, how it applies to print businesses, and how to take full advantage of its opportunities.

What you’ll learn:

• How cloud-based print management systems (PMS) enable print businesses to automate and streamline their print production workflows, reducing errors and improving overall efficiency.
• How cloud-based solutions like online ordering portals and web-to-print tools enhance the customer’s experience.
• The relationship between cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI)-based applications.
• How to train employees in “cloud skills.”
