Plain paper factories are mail operations that rely on plain white paper rather than pre-printed shells, forms, and envelopes. To help those making or considering the switch, Bell and Howell (Booth 849) is presenting a free Lunch and Learn session titled “Real-World Lessons from the Plain Paper Pioneers” at GRAPH EXPO 16 on Tuesday, Sept. 27, from 12:00 - 1:00 pm in Room N320A of the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. Attendees will be able to hear from an expert panel of executives who have successfully converted some or all of their operations to plain paper factories, and are willing to share their successes and missteps. The panel will feature the following experts: • Robb Cass, President, AccuDoc Solutions • Bill Gaddy, Senior Director, Broadridge Financial Solutions • David Fox, Executive Vice President of Operations, Valpak The panel will address such topics as the rationale for switching, potential savings, impact on the customer experience, and what is involved in migrating to a plain paper factory. No advance registration is required, and complimentary lunch will be provided to the fi rst 50 attendees.
