Printing and Imaging Support

INTRODUCTION

Derive Technologies' visionary IT business solution delivery program encompasses a comprehensive Printing and Imaging practice. We recognize that in the current business climate and in the future Printing and Imaging are, and will continue to be, critical drivers to information delivery. Your enterprise is challenged with being able to provide ever more effective, vibrant and media-rich print materials, digital image distribution and more powerful, detailed multimedia asset management solutions related to all media assets, while remaining in control of the costs of facilitating these often costly needs.

Printing and Imaging costs are skyrocketing. In fact, "...IT industry analysts, such as Gartner, estimate that printing and other imaging technologies consume an astonishing 1% to 3% of a typical organization’s total annual revenues." (From "Hard Copy" by Jason Wright. Copyright © Information Age, 27 February 2006.) Our Printing and Imaging support practice offers corporate and public sector organizations a full portfolio of services, which keep you on the cutting edge of media distribution while lowering your total cost of ownership for these technologies and related materials.

In addition to our innovative, consultative and economical approach to designing Print and Imaging schemas, and integrating these services into your entire computing infrastructure, Derive also enables dramatic purchasing cost reductions on systems and materials through VIP partnerships with the leading manufacturers of Print and Imaging technologies. These include:

• Printers: Standard, large format/plotter, photo, standard and high volume/high speed, laser and inkjet and others.
