Esko, a hardware and software specialist for the label, packaging and wide format print industries, has released a new whitepaper, Cloud Freedom, outlining the benefits of packaging industry transitioning to the cloud environment.
This latest tool follows the launch of the company's Digital Maturity Model program in 2020, designed to help management teams meet the need to address business digitization, automation, and connection strategically.
‘Across the print and packaging industries, organizations are managing an ever-growing list of competing demands on their operations,’ commented Jan De Roeck, marketing director for industry relations and strategy at Esko. ‘Whether related to cost, efficiency, quality, flexibility or consistency, the challenges faced by today’s prepress and print converters are significant. When these are combined with a lack of available skilled labor and decreasing run lengths, the need for management teams to boost the digitization, automation, and connectivity of their business becomes clear. Not only does the cloud address these demands, but it also delivers new freedoms to firms, both in terms of their operations and processes and also in eradicating IT challenges that might stifle their passion for prepress.
