New York, NY (March 1, 2001) – printCafe celebrates its first anniversary this week at the On Demand Digital Printing & Publishing Conference in New York City. printCafe’s first year of operation is notable for a long line of successes including strategic acquisitions, new customers, new product releases, and distinguished recognition by the print, publishing, and B2B markets. Printing is one of the largest areas of indirect corporate spending. Forrester Research estimates that Global 1000 companies purchase $110 billion of printed materials annually in the United States and $240 billion globally. The National Association of Print Leadership estimates that 30 percent of the dollars spent on print in the United States are wasted due to process inefficiencies that result in mistakes, reworks, and rush charges. “Print procurement is now widely recognized as one of the largest indirect costs of operating a business, large or small,” said Bill Guttman, co-CEO of printCafe. “The popularity of our products and the confidence of the investment community in providing printCafe with over $115 million in funding this year indicates a growing demand for a simpler, more cost-efficient way of procuring print.” Following its creation, printCafe acquired the print industry’s leading print management software companies including AHP, Hagen Systems, Logic Associates, Programmed Solutions, and PrintSmith. The result has been the creation of a one-stop-shop providing a seamless, integrated workflow for the entire print management process including job specifications, automated estimating, order entry, scheduling, tracking, shipping, and invoicing.
