Strategic Solution Sales

Application Delivery

Mining for Sales and Profits

It’s the New Year and a good time to review strategy for hitting your sales target in 2008. Conventional wisdom tells us the best opportunities lie within your existing customer base. What folks normally don’t tell you is that for every “gem” in your existing customer list there is corresponding “fools gold.”

How do you identify high value accounts and those promising “diamonds in the rough”?

Lean Manufacturing
and Digital Printing

To be competitive and remain profitable, you need to focus on efficiency. In many industries, the measures necessary for efficiency come under the umbrella term “lean manufacturing.”

One of the most influential approaches to lean manufacturing was the Toyota Production System (TPS). In this article, we’ll focus on one of the central aspects of that philosophy, the need to avoid “mura” or “unevenness.”

Serious AppForum Networking: Connect with Ideas and the People Behind Them

Contacts you make at AppForum can last a career or even a lifetime.

Face-to-face networking is still the best way to make those “must have” contacts and create long-lasting relationships, and the PODi AppForum brings you together with printing peers, data experts, technology developers, direct marketers and other professionals who share your interest in digital printing and personalization.

We’re Looking for Interesting “Efficiency” Stories
