It also allows us to work together as a team of nearly 300 centers to meet the needs of customers, leveraging the specifi c strengths that each center has.” Th e need for print service providers (PSPs) to continually invest “in the latest technologies to maintain quality and excellence is critical,” said Summerford. “Increasing turnaround times will be more and more important in a culture accustomed to instant gratifi cation. Th e need to invest and educate employees will play a big role in potential growth, ensuring the best, most knowledgeable staff in the industry.” “PSPs should be focused on maximizing effi ciency at every stage of production.
