  Prototype software

  heterogenous systems

  Esko-Graphics BackStage consumes JDF imposition
  from Preps (Creo)
• Further cooperation initiatives ongoing (MIS,
  Online collaboration, ...), we will show more
  real life use-cases at the upcoming
  Interoperability Meetings.
• Conclusion
• Esko-Graphics is Full Member of the CIP4
  organization and plays an active role in the JDF
  developments for pre-production workflows.
• Key development areas - PDF as the native data
  container- JDF as the electronic job-bag
• JDF links to 3rd party MIS systems have high
  priority
