Where does CICERO help?
Cicero is an MIS designed specifically for the printing industry. It is noteable for its modular structure. The system as a whole is powerful, but individual modules can also be used separately. Modules can therefore be implemented into the management system gradually. The modules are interconnected, so you only need to enter data once. It is then automatically transferred to the other modules.
