Comments on: What Printing MIS System is best for you? http://blog.pagepath.com/2009/06/11/what-printing-mis-system-is-best-for-you/ Wisdom from PagePath Technologies Thu, 15 Dec 2011 12:38:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Kgrade http://blog.pagepath.com/2009/06/11/what-printing-mis-system-is-best-for-you/#comment-199 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 17:41:51 +0000 http://blog.pagepath.com/?p=410#comment-199 We have been testing three products in demo mode over the past two months to determine which one we want to purchase. Between Printer’s Plan-(SoftUse), PrintSmith-(EFI), and Printfire Morning Flight the winner was Printer’s Plan. The problem is we are hesitant to purchase Printer’s Plan, because the backend is still on Microsoft Access 2003. They do not have plans to migrate to MS-SQL for at least 1 year. On the other hand PrintSmith which came in at a close 2nd does have plans to migrate their proprietary database to MS-SQL within the next 2 months.

The dockets are confusing and the support for this product sucks.

I hope EFI is watching and listening! They have really handcuffed the development of PrintSmith and lost site of it’s true competition. (EFI sees PS as a stepping stone to their more expensive systems.)

Printer’s Plan latest version has pulled ahead of PrintSmith in new features and development. They seem to be really listening to their users.

If PrintSmith 8.1(in beta right now) doesn’t deliver 2 years worth of new features, I wouldn’t be surprised to see an exodus to other programs.

The customer support is outstanding; probably one of the best that I have come in contact with. Their NOC is second to none, and the modules allow for almost unlimited expansion as your business grows. There is also a web-to-print and storefront module to expand your company present to the internet. Of course, we prefer the sophistication of MOD!

Great survey.
