In-plants Must Find New Roles

In-plant managers can also help design print workflows for distributed printing. Deciding where to print a document has been largely at the discretion of the user. The primary factor was convenience, not cost reduction. Today document management software will direct network traffic to the most appropriate printers, based on preset parameters that include cost, as well as convenience. In-plant managers can play a role in setting these parameters, ensuring that their low-, mid- and high-volume devices achieve maximum utility.
