SMEs: is MIS the missing piece?

Printweek.com - By Jon Severs Friday, 03 June 2011

Smaller printers once viewed MIS as an avoidable expense, but not any more. Following the recession, they realise cost measuring is now a critical business necessity

To the outsider, it used to look like a black art: scribblings on the back of cigarette packets, tight, illegible handwriting in day books, prices plucked seemingly from nowhere and the minutiae of a job stored only in the deep recesses of the print boss’s brain.

Computers took over – and not just in the estimating department, every facet of a print business could be broken down into binary code and calculated with cold, electronic precision.
