In that same vein, Simon continued, "The current economic conditions force us to become an even more effective low-cost producer of our products. It has also demanded of us to take an even more aggressive and supportive sales position with our customers to help them earn the business that we can produce for years to come."
Regardless, Datatel constantly works to keep on top of clients' needs, including doing its part for sustainability. Datatel is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world's forests, and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) label is a sign you are buying wood and paper products from a responsible source, backed by a rigorous, third-party certification audit.
And that's important, considering, Simon said, "The requirement for FSC and SFI Chain-of-Custody certification has grown in certain financial accounts that want to pursue the 'green' approach in their most visible documents such as customer statements."
Another important thing for customers is "flexibility and responsiveness." "It has become a requirement as it is not unusual to produce truckloads of product in a very short time frame of days instead of weeks," he noted.
Another positive is Datatel provides 100 percent clean rolls on many roll applications. Simon stated this improves data processing efficiencies tremendously and provides a "tangible selling point."
In addition, Datatel can produce 18 by 11 rolls two-wide up to two colors across its 36½" wide press.
"This 'two-wide' capability is unique amongst trade suppliers and caters to the growing trend in some applications to pre-print less while still requiring a certain level of customization such as perforating, tick marks or limited print," Simon added.
When it comes to the latest innovations in the banking/financial market, Simon said it has to be laser imaging. It continues to dictate the data processing requirements within this marketplace.
