PITTSBURGH, Pa.—The Technical Association of the Graphic Arts (TAGA) has announced the following keynote speakers for its 61st Annual Technical Conference, March 15-18 in New Orleans.
Dr. Carol Werlé, Dalim Software GmbH
Global Reach of Premedia
The graphic arts supply chain has gone global, and, equally important, it has gone real-time. In this keynote presentation, find out how the graphic arts industry is managing global operations to serve its clients with all the care and attention of a local supplier. Large print corporations have laid the foundation for efficient outsourcing of services, and publishers of catalogs or magazines as well as retailers have learned how to leverage the use of the Internet to reduce lead time in the manufacturing of printed products while cutting costs and reducing their carbon footprints. When even the paper industry promotes softproofing as a way to "go green," the time has come for everyone in the publishing and printing industry to check whether their production process is up to the latest standards.
Dr. Carol Werlé, Chief Executive Officer of Dalim Software GmbH, has directed the organization since the company's capitalization as a software manufacturing company in 1999. Obtaining a doctorate in Physics from the University of Strasbourg in 1985, Dr. Werlé joined the company, then known as DALiM GmbH, in 1987 as its first Support Engineer.
