Synapse^® Link software automates the exchange of data between Prinergy^® or  Synapse Director workflow management systems and a management information system (MIS). Using open standards such as JDF, Synapse Link provides immediate access to production data, so printers can accurately record and communicate production data, such as prepress events, machine time and material usage, into the MIS. With the production information delivered by Synapse Link, printers can understand their businesses better, become more profitable, and more responsive to customer demands.

Directly interface your prepress to your MIS
Synapse Link is a powerful, open information gateway that allows printers to integrate prepress data into MIS. With Synapse Link, you no longer have to rely on manual procedures and guesswork to discover the true costs of your operations. Integrating production data into your MIS can enable instant access to accurate, up-to-the-minute production information. With this information and the business analysis tools in your MIS, you can automate scheduling, inventory and billing management, identify trends and inefficiencies, and improve business decision making.

Automatically record alterations and associated costs
With the information provided by Synapse Link, you can more accurately keep track of alteration requests. All alterations and change requests, including those handled through the Synapse InSite  Web portal, are automatically recorded and sent to your costing and billing systems, ensuring that the production costs and materials associated with these alterations are tracked.

Fully leverage standalone reporting
Synapse Link is also a valuable tool in environments in which the MIS is not yet fully integrated with the production workflow or fully qualified with Synapse Link. Data collected by Synapse Link from Prinergy or Synapse Director can be used to create standalone reports describing prepress activity and materials used on jobs.
