Joe Morin, of Colorado Springs School District 11, explained how budget cuts to his customers have reduced the funds they have available for printing (an all-too-common story these days, unfortunately). Insourcing from other school districts is helping the in-plant somewhat, he said.
I heard a great success story from Tony Seaman, of the University of Mississippi, who told me that design services had just been moved into the in-plant's domain. This gives Tony supervision of every step in the process, from job creation through mail. He now oversees 24 employees (up from 14).
