“Data management can be the most difficult and daunting aspect of variable data printing for most graphic communications service providers,” said Pellow. “The success of a campaign is contingent upon not only the quality of the data, but also on how well that data is organized and followed up on. During this session, I will be joined by experts who have successfully leveraged and managed data to develop and execute effective campaigns. Their advice and guidance will include tips and hints that will benefit all attendees, even those who are already more sophisticated.”

“We always hear that lack of clean data and the ability to adequately mine it has been a barrier to the growth of the variable data printing market,” said Randy Davidson, President, WhatTheyThink. “During this session, that misconception will be put to rest, as we hear from companies who have clearly experienced significant success and business growth as a result of their ability to manage the data. We appreciate the fact that HP’s Capture Business Success Program is sponsoring this important session, allowing us to make it available at no charge.”
Attendees will be able to participate in a live question and answer session to get the most from the experience and will be able to view and listen to the presentation using a standard Internet browser with audio streamed via computer.
