2010 Print Automation Case Study Financial Performance All information required to run the business is now readily available in real time. Special reports can be exported to Excel for further analysis. Jobs run through the plant much more smoothly than in the past. Although 2009 sales volumes for CGI were down $1 million compared to the previous year, the increased efficiencies resulted in no reduction in taxable income. Results: In addition to the two positions that have been eliminated, Modern Litho is positioned to grow at least an additional 25% as the economy and market demand returns, without any further investment in people or technology. Software Workflow The figure below reflects the various software elements of the new workflow and how they fit together.
