Corporate Press--Printer Plays All Positions

Corporate Press brought the first portion of it new system online in October 1995, at the Fairfax, VA, operation. Next was the Landover, MD, operation, which, in addition to being the largest, is also the most diverse.

Key to a successful business management system conversion, according to Hooper, is getting everyone to take ownership.

A broad system like the Programmed Solutions requires that everyone be involved and that everyone be responsible for the accuracy and usefulness of information in the computer."
