A Healthy Outlook
"We just get continued business, and the business keeps growing," Burke says. "[Customers] laugh and tell us we can do everything, and we kind of can. We refer to ourselves as being one-stop shopping."

As the in-plant has grown, Burke has also made it a priority to streamline the ordering system and to keep departments accountable for what they are ordering. Last year, Print Services launched an online order site, which has just about eliminated manually produced requisitions. The online ordering software, which was produced and is maintained by a local student, has also resulted in a savings, compared to purchasing a software package.
