ACUP A Midwest Success

From In-plant to Business Center

Rethinking the traditional in-plant was a recurring theme at ACUP 2005. Tom Tozier, Printing Services manager at the University of California-Santa Cruz, gave an excellent session detailing his operation's efforts to turn itself into an on-campus business center.

After watching UPS buy Mailboxes Etc., followed by FedEx's purchase of Kinko's, Tozier said his school decided to research the idea of moving to a similar business center model—a one stop shop offering copying, shipping, mailing, supplies and more.
