Linda Balsamo A Multitalented, Multitasking Manager

Pressing On

Every five years, Walgreens does an analysis that includes looking into outsourcing printing.

"So far, the department has been able to demonstrate the value and flexibility it brings to the corporate office," says Balsamo. However, there have been changes over the years in response to technology developments. "Color printing has changed the most," she observes. "We used to have an offset shop, but closed it down about six years ago, replacing all the offset and darkroom equipment with black-and-white and color digital equipment."
