CSA Unveils Performance Resource Center Web-Based Tool for In-plants

At a Graph Expo breakfast event organized by In-plant Graphics, Canon Solutions America, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A., announced the launch of its Performance Resource Center, a Web-based tool and resource portal with a variety of management, marketing and benchmarking tools to help in-plant and CRD managers to create business strategies and expand the value and the range of their services. This newest suite of dynamic, intuitive tools and resources is offered exclusively through Canon Solutions America.

Developed by the company’s Enterprise Services and Solutions division, the Performance Resource Center was designed as a unique solution that offers a suite of tools and resources to help optimize print center operations while addressing the increased demand for cross-media services. Throughout the industry, print center managers are acknowledging the need to expand their service offerings and meet the evolving needs of their customers for online and interactive business communications. The Performance Resource Center tackles those expectations head-on with its ability to streamline daily management tasks, create awareness, and help print managers transform their operation from a cost center to a profit center.

"At Canon Solutions America we are committed to helping our customers thrive in an ever-demanding market," said Tracie Sokol, vice president, Marketing, Enterprise Services and Solutions, Canon Solutions America. "We understand the challenges that in-plant organizations are faced with today and have a dedicated team to develop tools and resources that can take some of the heavy lifting out of the day-to-day business."



It’s All About Performance
Customers of Canon Solutions America will be able to take full advantage of the comprehensive portal with 24/7 access to its dynamic collection of content and information. The Performance Resource Center combines leading-edge research and knowledge with an easy-to-use platform that brings cross-media services to print centers without the burden of purchasing expensive software.

"Canon has put in place the Performance Resource Center to address key challenges that the industry is facing with an arsenal of valuable tools and information for the in-plant and CRD sector," noted Barbara Pellow, group director at InfoTrends. "This tool set is designed to support and enhance in-plant operations of all sizes."

The portal comprises content sections dedicated to Business, Sales, Marketing, Acquisition Justification, Surveys, and Requests for Proposal, among other assets, provides customers with plug-and-play templates that will enhance operational efficiencies, boost productivity, and reduce some of the cumbersome management tasks for in-plant managers.

"Our customers deserve the most cutting-edge educational and productivity tools that can be used to broaden their own client portfolios and offer a wider range of services," added Sokol. "With this valuable resource, in-plant managers can better understand their operation’s strengths while uncovering operational gaps that can be improved to help reach new levels of effectiveness and value."
