Ragina Ostendorf, president of the National Government Publishing Association (NGPA) points out that in-plant printing facilities are responsible for more than just document production. “As president of NGPA, and having been a part of this industry for several years now, I understand the importance of controlling costs by local, state and federal government. But I also understand the importance of protecting the content of critical public documents in both print and/or electronic format. Any assessment of a public in-plant printer should factor in the important role in-plant printing facilities play in protecting sensitive content, especially in this ever increasing move toward more electronic management of data and communications.
