Design and Implement a Cost Effective Corporate Print, Mail & Information Fulfillment Procurement Program

Three significant changes can and should alter the way a corporation buys its various print and graphics requirements: (1) Mergers, acquisitions and corporate consolidations often result in a totally different procurement economies of scale. (2) The decision by corporate purchasing to reduce the total number of print vendors from which they wish to buy. (3) Globalization resulting in seeking offshore print and/or fulfillment vendors.

Corporations undergoing these changes often seek Clint Bolte’s extensive experience in setting up highly effective and cost efficient print procurement programs that take advantage of the latest Internet communication tools. The various tasks that may be included in such a print procurement revampment include (1) qualifying and quantifying print products by production specifications, (2) qualifying vendors regionally as well as internationally, (3) preparing and issuing detailed request for proposal(s), (4) preparing and issuing detailed request for quotation(s), (5) drafting the various necessary sections of annual contract(s), (6) facilitating the tour of print vendor finalists’ plants, (7) compiling listings of critical issues to be included in final negotiations with the print vendor finalists, (8) facilitating the discussion among the internal stakeholders as to the value propositions presented by the print vendor finalists, and (9) determining the necessary internal staffing to manage and monitor the outsourcing print contracts.
