October 4, 2016, Colleyville, TX—Madison Advisors—Madison Advisors president, Kemal Carr, and senior analyst, Gina Ferrara, will host a panel at Canon’s thINK 2016 Conference on what to consider in the build versus buy decision when it comes to outsourcing transactional print.

• The good, bad and ugly for outsourcing print—the positives and negatives of outsourcing print and what mistakes to avoid when outsourcing
• Color inkjet technology—what are the benefits of including this technology in the decision stream, how to make the most of an investment and how to generate interest in transitioning from monochrome to color documents across your organization
• Outsourcing:  Three options to consider—outsourcing print is one solution, but it is not the only solution
• Defending against the outsourcing conversation—strategies for keeping print in house and the rain gear needed to defend against the “Perfect Storm”
