AIIM Marketing and Communications is a large print solutions company located in Aurora, Canada. Mario Giorgio is the founder, Chair and CEO of AIIM. 

This seven-minute video is narrated by Mario and his staff. It explains AIIM’s rationale for choosing Avanti Slingshot Print MIS and the benefits of using it. Some of the key insights from the video include: 

  • Like a lot of organizations, AIIM ‘s business had outgrown the homegrown Print MIS they were using to run their business 
  • Key reasons for choosing Slingshot:
    • Enterprise scale – AIIM is a large organization serving both the contract and transaction markets
    • Modular approach – start with specific modules and add-on
    • Open system – easy to integrate with other business and print software including Ricoh
    • Modern – tailored for the changing print marketplace
    • Mobile friendly – login from anywhere to get real-time information 

 “With Avanti’s modular approach, we were able to target the modules that best fit our business. We knew that there was an opportunity to add on as we expanded our services as well.” 

  • Now that Slingshot is quarterbacking the operation, users are appreciating the:
    • System uptime – Slingshot always works
    • Production flexibility – from small print-on-demand jobs to multi-million piece contract work
    • Centralized, real-time window on the operation – having accurate, up-to-date insight on current status and milestones, enabling everything from accurate estimating to on-time delivery
    • Avanti support – making it easy to implement and benefit from Slingshot’s power 

Clearly, AIIM is a forward-thinking and successful print solutions provider. However, the business realities that pushed AIIM to move away from its homegrown print MIS are common to all print suppliers. 

Now, AIIM is ready for the future. With Slingshot, the organization has chosen a modern, modular and open print MIS solution that is enterprise-grade. 

No job is too big. Or too small.
