In December 2021, a critical security vulnerability was announced for the Apache Log4j software library. After determining that certain versions of RSA’s WebCRD and QDirect software solutions were vulnerable, RSA automatically “pushed” changes and a patch to most customers, protecting them within several days. There is no evidence that any of systems were breached due to this exposure.
Despite pandemic challenges remaining, typically there is a sense of new hope associated with the beginning of a new year. There are two planning scenarios. Planning for recovery/rebound while addressing staffing needs, and researching the root cause(s) of lingering low volume and overcoming volume declines. Both involve planning for growth, and we discuss planning and tips for each scenario.
Research shows that not only will we continue to experience supply chain and staffing issues in the coming year, we could also experience customer pushback about price increases and slower turnaround times. In the worst-case scenario, this could result in questions about the value of print or, worse, the value of the in-plant. This article will discuss the threats and offer three strategies to overcome them.

Looking for and finding a better and faster print production strategy is the key to remaining competitive. Before the pandemic, we would walk tradeshow floors and see new software vendors and products. If you were in the market, you might have decided if it warranted a closer look. If, however, it was an untested software or major announcement of the new features, it was important to weigh the pros, cons, and risks, and find ways to minimize risk. In this article, we will discuss how to 1) identify the risk, 2) decide if it is a good risk or a bad risk, and 3) offer a plan to mitigate or minimize the risk.

How do you calculate the true value of workflow automation for your shop? While no model is totally inclusive, based on our calculations, a shop with 125 jobs per week could be saving over $118,000 annually just in time savings by automating some of the steps in production by using RSA's WebCRD. To reach that conclusion, we discuss the changing landscape and misalignment with customer preferences, where to look for savings in the automation process, and explore the specific value integrated workflow solutions offer throughout the production process.
