From the Editor: Stress Your Value
Though my presentation is still a work in progress, one topic I plan to discuss is how your in-plant can add value to your parent organization—because let's face it, saving money just isn't enough any more.
Adding value might mean offering new services, especially non-print services, like document scanning, photo ID cards, engraving, fulfillment or e-marketing. Bring QR codes to the attention of your organization's marketing people so they see the in-plant as the resident QR expert. Take the lead in implementing an organization-wide print management strategy to eliminate wasteful desktop printers. Make it very easy for customers to send you work by implementing a Web-to-print solution.
