IPMA Conference An 'Xtreme Success'

Like Neckvatal, West Barton, of Brigham Young University's Print and Mail Production Center, started insourcing to fill in slow periods. The revenue generated has helped the in-plant acquire new technology, such as CTP and an envelope press.

Barton says CD burning looks like a potential insourcing opportunity. Also, a local printer has asked the in-plant to handle its mailing, creating yet another possible revenue source. And by making a BYU-designed online business card ordering system available to other companies, BYU is getting print work from those companies because jobs are being routed directly to its in-plant.
