After more than 30 years at EstellaPrint, how would you describe the technological evolution of the company and its impact on product quality and efficiency?
Obviously, in such a period of time, the technological evolution has been important. At the time we had simple, expensive systems with a fairly limited scope. Today we have become one of the most important parts of the organization. Today computer systems have reached all the processes of the company achieving a standardization and a better communication with the parts of the productive process which allows to listen, measure, act and automate tasks reducing costs. It should also be noted that with the development and democratization of data, something we were not even aware of has been developed, such as cybersecurity, which has evidently come to stay and in which we have been evangelized.
Your career has allowed you to experience different stages of Estellaprint. What key lessons would you highlight about how to tackle complex and highly demanding projects?
Above all, the importance of working with committed teams. The fact of considering those who work with you as part of a unique team, with their different ideas and knowledge makes complex projects become realities. Fortunately, both my own team and the various multidisciplinary teams I have worked with and always work with have always been great at this point.
How does the integration between IT, production, quality and design contribute to driving innovation at Estellaprint?
Integration allows everyone to work in the same ecosystem, with the same data, rather than in isolation. This allows the standardization of processes, that data is entered only once and where it is generated. By all dealing with the same data, the process flow is faster. Product traceability is also improved by having that single ecosystem and any kind of information needed at any point in the process or created in the process, for example in quality, flows much better.
