In-house Operation Awarded U.S. Department of State Printing Contract

Zwang says that GPS also designed the system to support automated production processes. “Using distributed production, JDF, web to print, and other automating technologies,” he says, “we are able to reduce costs and more importantly, production cycle and delivery times.”

The GPS framework for conducting Department of State publishing and distribution will have long-term ramifications in setting new standards for global graphic communications and publishing. The GPS proposal was submitted by Lee R. Lohman, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Information Sharing Services, on behalf of the government employees. Says Lohman, “Being selected for this contract speaks volumes about our organization’s capabilities. GPS is offering what we believe is one of the most sophisticated, flexible, and scaleable communications solutions in the world.”
