Workflow…..

Workflow is more important today than ever before

Workflow drives cost out and adds value in

Workflow architecture allows growth in capabilities without disruption

Component-based workflow architectures provide a path to differentiation

Workflows… or just tasks?

A-to-B connections… are tasks!• Turn product specifications from estimate into a job plan

• Get a job plan to the scheduler

• Let shipping know job is complete

These are NOT workflows!

We’re talking end-to-end workflows!

Impact your entire ecosystem!

Example…

Your customer ordered 5,000. Now they want 50,000!

• Should we keep the planned production route?

• Should we now run a digital production route?

• Are our print changes still efficient?

Your customer needs the products 3 days earlier!

• Should we re-sequence other jobs if we move this one?

• What jobs are going to be late if we move this?

• How strategic is this customer? Is it worth it?
