The Rest of the Story

We began active development on Odyssey two years ago, but Odyssey’s story really starts before that. In the years before active development of Odyssey, one of the questions we often heard from our customers was this: “Can the website you’re providing for me connect to my Print MIS, so I don’t have to manage my legacy print orders and my online print orders in two different places?”

We suspected the way to answer “Yes!” to that question would mean building a connection to existing Print MIS vendors. However, whenever we attempted to partner with existing Print MIS vendors, we always ended up with one of two results: “No, thanks,” or a connection that fell well short of our vision of what a completely connected website and Print MIS solution should be.

 

That left us with just one choice: Build our own Print MIS!

 

Odyssey is Different

Could we build a Print MIS from the ground up that was different than anything else on the market? Yes! All we had to do was look to our history of providing marketing services for the printing industry! No other Print MIS had ever taken this approach. Up until now, Print MIS was concerned about managing print production from the time a print order was placed until the time when it was complete.

But Odyssey would not be bound by expectations of the past. Odyssey had the freedom to take an entirely new approach and expand the scope of what Print MIS is capable of doing. Odyssey could look beyond “normal” and do something that’s never been done before. With this fresh, new approach, Odyssey is a Print MIS that values marketing as much as production, building relationships before, during, and after each order.

Here’s the story on our blog post, The Quest For A New Breed Of Print MIS.

Now, it’s your turn to join the story. It starts when you complete and submit your application for employment:
