“Were a small company with less than 40 employees. With Agfa, we had the opportunity to one-stop shop. Weve worked with them from the start, when we first started transitioning over to a digital process in 1996,” said Dale Flesberg, president of JPA. “Theres a lot that we love about Agfa. We believe that the best approach is working with equipment and systems that were made to work together. We dont want to spend time designing a system or trying to make different components that werent designed together, to work within an existing configuration. Agfa offers a total workflow solution where all the parts of the puzzle speak to each other and work together. Because we dont have to worry about the technology, we can get on with doing what we do best.
