New at GMA University: Find Automation Opportunities Hiding in Your Workflow

Your GMA Membership Comes with a University

When was the last time you visited GMA University?

With more than 100 online education modules available completely free to GMA members, the platform gives you and your employees an easy way to continue learning, build skills, and explore ideas that can make a difference in your business.

And the library continues to grow.

NEW: Workflow Automation Around the Edges

The newest addition to GMA University takes a closer look at an area where many print businesses may have untapped opportunities for greater efficiency: the processes surrounding production.

In Episode 102: Workflow Automation Around the Edges, Ryan McAbee and Pat McGrew explore customer intake, estimating, job ticketing, system integration, change orders, and invoicing, where manual processes can create errors and lost profit.

The approximately 22-minute episode also examines how AI, APIs, JDF/JMF, and workflow governance can help connect disconnected systems, reduce re-keying, and uncover new opportunities for automation.

It is a great reminder that automation does not always require completely reinventing your production floor. Sometimes the biggest opportunities are hiding in the processes that happen before, between, and after production.

More Than 100 Opportunities to Learn

GMA University isn't just for owners or senior leadership. With a growing library of content, it can be a resource for employees throughout your organization.

Use it for individual professional development. Share a module with your management team. Incorporate relevant episodes into staff meetings. Assign content to an emerging leader. Or simply spend 20 minutes exploring an idea that could make your operation better.

There is no additional charge. GMA University is included with your GMA membership.

That's more than 100 opportunities to learn, develop your people, and bring new ideas back to your organization.
