How Resilient Are You?

How Resilient Are You?

By Noel Ward, Editor@Large


If you are the proud owner of a digital press you've probably wrestled with the best way of servicing the beast that takes up an inordinate amount of floor space while pulling a monthly nut out of your checking account. Some of the newest devices change the game further by increasing reliability and throughput. But neither reliability nor throughput outpace the need for service. It is service that ultimately delivers the reliability and throughput that you need. It comes down to setting your business up to succeed by taking control of predictable costs. There are three primary ways of doing this.
