STAMFORD, Conn., - Pitney Bowes Management Services (PBMS) a wholly owned subsidiary of Pitney Bowes Inc., today announced its sponsorship of the 2012 Digital Printing in Government and Higher Education Forum, organized by Interquest. The Forum, which will take place today at the Government Printing Office (GPO) in Washington, D.C., will focus on the latest trends in the publishing, print-on-demand, and transactional printing and explore ways public sector organizations can enhance their printing processes and supply chain to gain efficiencies.

"Print is vital to government agencies and institutions of higher education and represents a significant annual investment," said Tim Healy, vice president and public sector leader, Pitney Bowes Management Services. "There are opportunities to drive more value from the print stream, including print outsourcing, which aggregates and leverages an organization's entire print spend and optimizes the supply chain to deliver cost savings and ensure top quality results. Complementing print with electronic communications is another highly effective way to improve effectiveness while reducing overall print costs. We help many public sector clients optimize their print streams and manage their digital and physical communications to deliver sustainable cost savings."

Pitney Bowes is one of GPO's pre-selected print vendors and, through the On-Site Printing and Copying Production Services contracting vehicle, currently provides print management solutions and services to several federal agencies, including the Department of Energy.
