Integration to EFI MIS and Web-to-Print Solutions
Fiery external servers are the only DFEs that integrate with EFI Management Information Systems (MIS) and Web-to-Print workflows.
Fiery users can leverage the power of their DFEs to do the following:
• Deliver job specifications entered at the Digital StoreFront
®
or PrintSmith Site client or at the EFI MIS. The information is validated
and transferred to the Fiery server without the touch points, delays or errors common in a disconnected workflow. The Fiery server
uses this information to configure the job, preparing it for output on the digital engine.
• Update job status, including the updating schedule and RunList, to the EFI scheduling system in real time.
• Track job costing information to perform accurate and timely cost analysis and invoicing.
• Analyze information about equipment and employees to provide management staff with the details they need to make more informed
business decisions.
Below is a summary of key customer benefits for each EFI solution that integrates with Fiery servers. For more information, refer to
