The Automation + Integration Series:
with Accura

We continue The Automation + Integration Series with a focused session featuring Accura and Significans Automation, bringing together real-world integration insight, workflow expertise, and the teams responsible for designing and connecting modern print production systems.

Taking place on Tuesday January 27, 2026, this session will explore how printers are approaching automation and integration at a systems level, with a specific focus on how MIS, workflow automation, and production software need to work together to support scalable, efficient operations.

Rather than focusing on a single customer story, this conversation centres on the integration layer itself – how data moves between systems, where friction commonly appears, and how printers can avoid complexity by making smarter configuration decisions upfront.

As automation becomes more deeply embedded across the production landscape, this session continues the series’ focus on practical wins, honest challenges, and the architectural choices that shape long-term workflow success.

If you want a clearer understanding of how integration strategy impacts efficiency, reliability, and growth – this session is for you.

Why This Session Matters

Automation remains one of the most effective ways for print businesses to:

• Reduce manual touchpoints
• Improve production visibility
• Eliminate duplication across systems
• Build stable, scalable operations

But automation only delivers value when integration is done well.

Successful integration depends on:

• Clean, reliable data structures
• Clear communication between systems
• Software configured around real production workflows
• A shared understanding of how each platform fits into the wider stack

This session brings those elements together through an open, experience-led discussion grounded in real implementation scenarios.

What You’ll Hear About

Integration challenges printers face
Where complexity creeps in, how disconnected systems create friction, and why integration often becomes the limiting factor in automation projects.

MIS and workflow alignment
How production, planning, and automation systems need to work together – and where gaps typically appear.

Building for scale, not just today
What sustainable automation architecture looks like when printers plan for growth, change, and evolving customer demands.

Avoiding overengineering
Why simpler, well-integrated systems often outperform complex stacks that are poorly connected.

Where Accura comes in

Accura offers CRM, MIS and Web2Print all from one vendor. Accura brings a deep understanding of MIS-driven production environments and the role structured data plays in enabling effective automation.

In this session, the discussion will cover:

• How MIS platforms support automation and integration
• Common data handoff challenges between systems
• The importance of clean configuration and realistic expectations

This is not a product demo – it’s a practical conversation about how integration decisions affect real-world production outcomes.

The discussion will also highlight how Accura’s structure as a single-product company, combined with a small and agile approach, is central to the partnership’s success. This approach enables open lines of communication and the flexibility to adapt APIs, which is key to building resilient, long-term automation architectures for clients.

Who’s Joining the Discussion

This session features Marc Raad, President of Significans Automation, alongside Trevor Cocks, Managing Director at Accura, bringing together integration, workflow, and MIS perspectives. The discussion will be moderated by Chris Minn, CEO & Founder of Digital Ink.

Marc Raad, President – Significans Automation

Trevor Cocks – Accura

Moderated by Chris Minn, CEO & Founder – Digital Ink

Together, they’ll explore what’s working today, where integration still breaks down, and how printers can move toward more connected, resilient production environments without unnecessary disruption.
