Q&P distributor for Western Australia
Phil Hayes brings us up-to-date on the latest news, direct from the Quote & Print headquarters.
Like most industries, printing is affected by continuous technological advances. While these advancements can make life a lot easier in the long term, they also make it increasingly difficult to find people who have the appropriate qualifications to assist with the implementation and integration of such technology. This is particularly evident in the area of large software packages.
Quote & Print recognises this fact and has recently undertaken steps to remedy this through its dealer network. One effective method is to visit its customers that have a proven track record in applying industry best practice in their chosen fields and learn how they do this first hand. This will enables the company to train and advise its customers of the best possible ways in which to gain the most from their decision to implement an MIS system.
The beginning of March saw all the distributors of Quote & Print gather in Perth WA for the first of 2007 conferences. Two site visits were arranged, Scott Print and Port Printing Works, each of which have displayed best practice in their respective fields.
All the members of the visiting party were able to see first hand how it is possible to gain the most from there MIS systems through planning, focused and clear goals and a little lateral thinking.
As this program of learning continues, the Quote & Print teams will be able to offer advice to customers that it is hoped will achieve a faster and effective installation, and for those that already have Q&P better ways in which to get the most out of the software.
