Bas Schuring, Production Manager, Cubord Signmakers is the winner of this year’s first Switch Smart Solution Battle!

Enfocus has been doing some serious forward thinking. How about we let some end users volunteer to run a pre-release version of Switch through its paces? This is like track day for software. Let's run Switch around the real world track to get the kinks out and make use of valuable end-user input before the final version release.

“Enfocus Switch has allowed us to create flow processes which automatically guarantee a certain level of consistency and precision whilst being sufficiently flexible to adapt to our company’s new operational needs, as and when they develop. It has enabled us to automate the organisational side of our processes in a secure manner, guaranteeing the level of quality and control. This resulted into a considerable amount of time that got freed up, which in turn translated into an increase in productivity.”

Thomas Marchal – Manufacturing Department

“Our new Switch-based workflow manages the entire production cycle, enabling us to reduce errors and standardize procedures. The result is a reduction in the cost and time needed to produce work, fewer errors, and happier customers.”

Caio Guardigli, Prepress Director

"This really is a simple and easy-to-use solution for all our employees. You do not need any separate or locally installed PDF printer if you want to convert logs or other internal documents into a PDF."

Ingo Köhler, IT Operations, HUK-COBURG

"We are processing five to ten times as many orders thanks to the smooth workflow. That secures our profitability nowadays. For example, in the past we needed multiple desktop publishers; at this point we do not have a single one. Our well-trained order attendants are perfectly capable of doing the work flawlessly. 
Thanks to the extra orders coming in, we were able to employ more people in production and within our online branch. As a result, we did not only experience a sturdy growth in turnover, but also in the services we offer.” 

Eric Olijve, director of NetzoDruk

"We no longer have to worry about re-workings and re-makings due to problems with PDFs. Enfocus reduced human errors, and made the delivery process of files to the printers much more efficient."

Enrique Dominguez – Director prepress management Milan

"Switch pulls everything together. Although we have multiple publishing and consumption methods, there is now a defined, centralized workflow for managing, processing and distributing files, as well as updating and interacting with several databases. We needed a solution that was as 'open source' as possible to allow full XML automation as well as integration of third party applications and configurators. Switch was the ideal solution to meet those requirements."

Brian North, Group Workflow Specialist at Tangent

"We started investigating, testing, and preparing samples and quickly became convinced that Switch was the right tool for what we needed. And it has done a great job for us. It has gotten us beyond our goal of getting 80 % of the manual steps out of our workflow ,  because we have reached a 100 % within the year, without entailing an exorbitant financial investment. And we’re continuing to go further with it."

J. Saunders, Manager of Amending and Box Goods Manufacturing, William Arthur

"Before Switch the prepress team devoted 8-12 hours, on a weekly basis, to configuring the publications for print. Now it only takes a matter of minutes."
