How to Implement JDF
What do you hope to achieve using JDF? JDF is an enabling technology for efficient workflow and for flexible selection of components from one or more vendors. You have to decide what will benefit you the most, in terms of your business model, from these efficiencies.
It's often a good idea to select one of two key benefits and to concentrate on achieving these rather than trying to do everything at the same time. Here are a few other tips from our guide. For more detail download our White Paper by following the link on the right.
- make one person within your organisation responsible for a migration towards JDF
- pick a part of your workflow where the impact will be greatest
- talk to your preferred vendors about their JDF-based solutions
- if your systems include MIS, talk to the supplier about what they can do to assist with customer-facing web-sites, to inventory control and to your accounts department
