Now We Have JDF … • What’s it all about? • Where do I get it? • What do I do with it? • What are the benefits? • Give me real examples!
What’s JDF All About? • Not JDF – it’s about JDF-enabled products • Capturing information – preferably upstream • Automating workflows, reducing errors • Integrating production with business • Allowing best-of-breed application integration • It’s about Digital Supply Chain Management
Where Do I Get It? • Vendors are offering JDF-enabled solutions • Get it in new products • Get it in upgrades to existing products • You will become JDF-enabled by attrition if you wait long enough
What Do I Do With It? • You don’t have to apply it to your whole company all at once! • Identify the different processes within your workflows • Identify which ones could benefit from: • Consistent use of data • Updates in technology • Better management & automation • Pick a process, start with one, and… • IMPLEMENT IT!
“The Myth of JDF … Does it work? Will we see savings?” Frankly, while the industry is asking these questions we have experienced tremendous savings based on JDF. You do not have to build the entire JDF environment in one full swoop. That is the value of JDF, as you build the hardware and software operations they have a means of communicating with a common language that enables the automation as a standard ‘JDF’. As we architect our future at Brown Printing towards the complete CIM model, I can’t overstate the value in JDF enough; it brings our community to one common front.” Scott Borhauer, Central Imaging Manager, Brown Printing Company (quote from JDF Booklet – Its not a Myth, May 2004)
What Are The Benefits? • Better information • Less reconciling and re-keying information • Automation of workflows • Better utilization of staff • Better utilization of systems • Better integration throughout the business • Better cashflow
