Content Critical Solutions, a provider of technology solutions, business process outsourcing, and production services, has installed an Océ ColorStream 3500 digital color printing system, part of the Océ ColorStream 3000 Series. Fred Van Alstyne, chief operations ofcer, and John Slaney, chief technology ofcer, wanted to make sure they did their proper due diligence.

"The Océ ColorStream 3500 allowed us to take a lot of the monochrome work that was running on preprinted mastheads and shift that into a single point of manufacturing," said Slaney. "The way the system allows you to run full color and the length of jobs you can run through the equipment really made it a vi- able solution for our business." "Content Critical Solutions is a remarkable company because it's always focused on the future," said Francis A. McMahon, vice president, Marketing, Production Print Solutions division of Can- on Solutions America. "A lot of companies won't acquire a given technology until they have the work, but here you've got a company that is savvy enough to jump into the water and invest in the technology necessary to provide even better service to their existing customers, while bringing on new customers." Partners in Growth That approach to continually improving its oferings has helped Content Critical Solutions compete successfully in an industry dominated by bigger players. Another key component has been the company's careful balancing of a personalized approach to customer service with the increasing demand for automation in the document quality control and review process.
