Who's Minding The Data?

In the 1990s and beyond, an in-plant is expected to do much more than simply print documents. Don't miss out on an opportunity to expand.

Five years ago, Tony Hinds' definition of an in-plant was probably very similar to that of most managers: an in-house printing facility.

Today, however, the number of managers clinging to that limited perception has dwindled, and Hinds—vice president of graphics and printing services at Prudential Securities, in New York—is definitely not among them. Instead, the buzz words are "document management," and most experts say you'll either embrace the concept or fall by the wayside.
