Audit Automation Development Workflow optimization Support
Anthony Boyat — Prepress Expertise & Development

I help companies in the graphic industries
analyze, optimize and evolve their prepress environments.

What I can do for you

My services

I work both on one-off audits and on their implementation through development, optimization and evolution work.

Diagnostics & implementation

From audit to implementation

Before changing a workflow or developing a new solution, it's essential to understand exactly how things currently work.

I carry out technical and functional audits of prepress environments to identify bottlenecks, tasks that can be automated, and opportunities for improvement — then, when needed, I support the company all the way through to implementing the recommendations.

01

Analyze & diagnose

Study of existing tools, flows and processes to identify breakpoints, manual tasks and sources of error.

02

Recommend

Prioritized solutions based on expected gains, technical feasibility and company constraints.

03

Develop

Implementation of the necessary changes and automations.

04

Support

Team training and support throughout the rollout of new solutions.

Roadmap — when relevant, a defined action plan to help prioritize changes and move forward step by step.

Background

Experience built in the graphic industry

With over 20 years of experience in an industrial environment, I bring together business and technical expertise to analyze existing workflows, identify areas for improvement, and propose concrete solutions suited to real production conditions.

For more than 15 years at Stratus Packaging, I worked at the heart of prepress, automation and industrial production challenges. My career gave me the opportunity to work on complex environments, develop solutions tailored to teams' needs, and take part in evolving the tools and workflows used daily across the entire Stratus Group. This experience also led me to work on issues combining production, IT, automation and user needs.

Today, I want to put this experience to work for companies looking to understand, optimize and evolve their prepress environment. My goal: to provide directly operational expertise, with a pragmatic, results-driven approach.

Need an analysis or an optimization?

Would you like an outside perspective on your prepress environment? Are you dealing with workflow issues, repetitive tasks, manual work, or tools that struggle to talk to each other?

An audit can help pinpoint exactly what the issues are and what improvements are possible before starting any development. Let's talk about what you need.

A first conversation, no strings attached

A video call can be set up before any contract begins — simply to get acquainted, talk through your needs, and check together that my skills are the right fit.
