Controlling Your Print Spend: Enterprise Print Sourcing in Today's Businesses

Overview

All organizations, regardless of size, must produce printed materials for themselves and for their clients. The larger the organization, the greater its printing needs, but the less likely that print procurement will be carried out in an organized manner. Too often, departments are left to fend for themselves in a piecemeal fashion. The result: most of their printed materials are commissioned to many different printers, with few standards for appearance and quality and no chance to achieve economies of scale. The problems of disorganized corporate-wide printing arise plausibly enough: at first, entrepreneurs at a fast-moving company find local printers who can get the work done quickly and cheaply.
