Five of EPI’s largest partners are clients for whom we have assumed operations of in-house print facilities. The continuous investments in new technology and equipment required to most cost-effectively service their own in-house needs could not be rationalized by their own demand alone. The HR policies and compensation plans of these Fortune 500 firms were not consistent with industry averages for the print, mailing and fulfillment industries—driving their in-plant labor rates well outside of the competitive range. And their intellectual capital and cash were both better directed to their core missions of developing better products and services and increasing market share.

EPI’s role with organizations seeking to evaluate in-plant outsourcing is not only to assume operations and reduce operating costs, but also to partner with them in the development of the upfront financial modeling, HR planning, process mapping and change management to ensure that the transition process runs smoothly and the affected personnel and processes are positioned for on-going success.

At EPI we understand the organizational impact of an in-plant outsourcing effort. We welcome the opportunity to demonstrate to your team our value as a partner to not only cost-effectively service the needs of your business with the same standard of care provided by your in-plant today, but to also provide the resources throughout the analysis and transition process to ensure that your in-plant outsourcing effort is successful financially, operationally and in the hearts and minds of your employees.
