Impact of MoD on HR Allocation?

So...I've heard some discussion that MoD can impact HR allocation (i.e. jobs). The Marketing department could theoretically lose some pawns off their chessboard. In the print producer environment, the pre-press jobs could be "reallocated" to other areas of the organization. Of course, that's assuming the on-demand workflow solution is robust enough to eliminate the human touch factor. When a technology hits mainstream Corporate America that clearly helps the revenue driver (that would be the customer), you can imagine the trickle down effect it would have on the rest of the organization that depends upon that revenue driver for milk and eggs.

Then again...I could be wrong. What have you seen out there?

There is no way that a software application can completely remove the human touch in the print facility. The software that sends jobs to the machine always fail when it comes to speed. My guys can beat the pants off of software.

Why don't they just hand us the job and let us do the rest!
