In our ongoing series looking at Print Management and Document Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) companies, we cross the ocean to the UK to talk with Jason Cromack, Chief Executive Officer, TripleArc PLC, parent company of AccessPlus.

A number of executives have noted that print management services have been an accepted practice in the UK for more than 10 years; and we take this opportunity to find out why. Was it just timing or were there other influences that encouraged outsourced print procurement services?

AccessPlus, a leading provider of print management and business communication services, is a business unit of TripleArc Plc Group, one of the largest print management and business communications companies in the UK. Revenue in 2006 was about £45 million ($89 million). Offering a range of integrated solutions in five core service areas: Print Management, Data Solutions, Document Management, Logistics, and Campaign Delivery, AccessPlus uses its own innovative proprietary procurement, e-commerce and workflow technologies to streamline the print production and fulfillment processes.
