That said, there was some good content at the in-plant sessions. At one, a panel of managers talked about initiatives they have taken that have brought success. Mike Lincoln, who oversees the State of Colorado's Integrated Document Solutions operation, noted that by shifting his employees' mindsets from "it's good enough for government" to focusing on high quality, the in-plant has impressed customers and made them advocates. Such loyalty is key to an in-plant’s survival, agreed Gary Boytos, of the University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, who said in-plants must become “solutions providers” and solve customers’ problems creatively.
