PRIMIR Study Unveiled about Financial, Transactional and Transpromo Printing

Outsourcing

The good news for digital printers: there is a strong trend towards the outsourcing of statement printing from in-plants to independent transaction print providers. And, unlike other printing applications, there is little risk that the outsourcing of the printing will migrate overseas since transaction printing is a highly time-sensitive application. I.T. Strategies noted that firms not typically associated with transaction printing, but rather with the processing of transaction data (i.e., e-billers) are buying their way up the value chain to offer one-stop (printing) services to clients. These firms present a new business opportunity for NPES members offering software, equipment, presses and supplies.
