Print Buying Services
Print buying can be a complicated, costly endeavor. Organizations may have their purchasing department request bids for the printing of stationery, forms and simple or repetitive documents, while often relying on contracted graphic designers or advertising agencies to sub-contract more complex printing such as brochures and publications. Without corporate-wide strategies and procedures designed to facilitate efficient and cost effective print buying, higher costs and other related inefficiencies are certain to occur.
Oscar Robertson Solutions (ORS), through its alliance partner, empowers print buyers by providing strategies, tools and services that optimize the print buying process. Client companies often realize up to a 30% reduction in net printing costs by using these services, while retaining complete control of the process. Print quality is maintained and in many instances is improved.
The ORS team brings a wealth of relevant experience to print management and understands the wide diversity of organizational needs. Client organizations are empowered to make smarter strategic buying decisions through the use of Print Management.
Armed with technical expertise and proprietary, system-based tools, ORS assists client organizations to enhance their print purchasing performance. We identify the most cost-effective solutions for a corporation’s printing projects and give you the information necessary to make better print buying decisions.
The ORS Print Buying Services covers everything from forms, labels, envelopes and letterhead to 6-color brochures and complex marketing materials.
Print-Related Consulting
ORS offers a comprehensive range of consulting services to support print-related client objectives. Engagements may address print purchasing in general (such as our Print Purchasing Diagnostic) or focus on specific issues such as equipment configuration, organization and staffing concerns (for example, an Internal Print Shop Review, or a Mail Services Assessment). Consulting engagements may be independent of our outsource management and purchasing support offerings, or part of an integrated package. Each project is tailored to the specific needs of our client.
Our consulting services provide a proven framework for improving how organizations plan, produce, buy and distribute printed materials… helping clients develop an accurate and objective grasp of their current reality … formulating relevant, achievable action plans and providing assistance in implementing those plans. Generally, the results are annual savings that significantly exceed the cost of the engagement.
