In-plants: The Next Generation

Ken Macro, assistant professor in the California Polytechnic State University Graphic Communication department, in San Luis Obispo, Calif., executed the research for this report along with a team of students. Entitled “Codifying, Managing, Archiving, and Disseminating Intellectual Assets: The Next Generation of the In-Plant Print Center,” the report was made possible through a research grant provided to Cal Poly by The Electronic Document Systems Foundation (EDSF), a non-profit organization dedicated to the document management and communications marketplace. The report—which provides examples of successful in-plants that have taken a stance to champion the management of knowledge within their organizations—is available as a free download at
