An Insourcing Wake-up Call
Offering high quality, low cost printing with great service should insure your in-plant's long-term success, right? Not exactly. An organization might still decide that it shouldn't be in the printing business and turn to outside vendors.
On top of all those business necessities listed above, you should also insource work to add dollars to your company's bottom line. By boosting profits, rather than merely cutting costs, you make it harder for someone to shut you down since that decision will actually hurt the company financially.
Start your insource search by contacting the customers of other departments. They might have print jobs that can run when your machines would otherwise be idle. The more you diversify your customer base, the better you will be able to withstand the loss of one or two accounts. Over time, you will be able to justify new equipment purchases by showing a strong return on investment, further securing your future with every dollar made.
