HIFLEX MIS JDF certified by the CIP4 Organization

Wednesday 20. August 2008 - HIFLEX MIS as one of the very first Management Information Systems world-wide has been JDF certified by the CIP4 Organization (International Cooperation for the Integration of the Processes in Prepress, Press and Postpress Organization) and PIA/GATF (Printing Industries of America/Graphic Arts Technical Foundation) with effect from May 23, 2008.

This JDF certification includes the following categories: MIS to Prepress ICS (JDF 1.3 Level 2), MIS to Conventional Printing-Sheetfed ICS (JDF 1.3 Level 2), Base ICS (JDF 1.3 Level 2), JMF ICS (JDF 1.3 Level 2), MIS ICS (JDF 1.3 Level 3).
Basis for the certification program is the Interoperability Conformance Specification (ICS) Documentation that has been developed by the CIP4 technical working groups. Certified JDF-compatible software complies with the present guidelines for interoperability and receives the test mark “JDF certified” which includes an individual certification number.
The now realized JDF certification ascertains the perfect JDF communication capabilities between HIFLEX MIS and the connected JDF-capable systems of the different vendors.
Stefan Reichhart, Managing Director of HIFLEX, comments: “HIFLEX is market leader in the field of JDF integration. The CIP4 JDF certification is important and validates HIFLEX’s many years of experience with JDF Systems Integration and our proven track record with integration.”
The HIFLEX MIS is the first and currently only European Management Information System that passed the certification program by CIP4 and PIA/GATF.
