Integrate In-plants Into Workflows

These efforts can reap tremendous rewards as high-level corporate executives are made aware of the valuable contributions of the in-plant. These numbers can also be used to justify additional expenditures on networked printers and other production needs.

If you still think electronic distribution methods threaten the future success of the in-plant, consider this analogy: Many said the rapid release of movies on videotape would cut theater attendance. Theater owners responded by upgrading facilities to offer high-quality stereo sound, stadium seating and a more elegant environment. As a result, box office averages are growing, not declining.
