Synopsis

Printing technology expert Slava Apel and print industry consultant and futurist Dr. Joe Webb present their experiences, research, and practical perspectives about how printers can use cloud computing to improve their operations and customer experiences. These technologies can improve business strategy implementation and have a positive effect on the market value and investment attractiveness of a printing enterprise. Cloud computing is an enabling technology that offers opportunities for workflow flexibility and increased productivity. This cloud production guide stresses the best practices for the assessment and planning of cloud migration and implementation includes a plain-language overview of cloud computing concepts and business applications. Also discussed are the varieties of cloud services, cloud technology and software vendors, differences between cloud, SaaS, or enterprise deployments, and the range of price points and contracts for cloud software. The book pays special attention to the importance of training. The authors explore the risks and alternatives for the critical step of integrating the cloud with current operations and planning the migration of current systems to cloud computing.
