I'm a CFO...

and I’d like to know if someone has finally invented a new paradigm for managing print budgets more predictably…

ShareSource

If you’re a CFO spending $200,000 or more each year on printing and copy services, you should investigate ShareSource^sm from Riverside. For buyers that qualify, ShareSource shrinks and freezes your print budget.

Here’s how it works. Say your budget is $200,000. You provide Riverside an itemization of print expenditures for the previous 12 months. We conduct a review and prepare a proposal to assume responsibility for your entire print budget at a discount of, let’s say, 10%.

So, your budget is immediately cut from $200,000 to $180,000 – that’s the shrinking part. Next we freeze it, eliminating un-even swings in monthly or quarterly print expenditures, and replacing them with a fixed monthly fee of $15,000.

Reduces Labor

ShareSource eliminates the labor expense incurred when your purchasing staff is required to request, review and process quotes for every print job. It also eliminates the labor associated with processing, reviewing and paying invoices originated by multiple print suppliers. If you’re using a print broker, ShareSource eliminates the broker’s fee. If you’re spreading your expenditures among multiple print and copy providers, ShareSource enables you to leverage the power of volume purchasing.

‘True-Up’

Riverside provides a report each month of your activity for the past thirty days, as well as year-to-date activity. At the end of twelve months if your activity has substantially changed from the previous year (up or down), we ‘True-Up’ your budget. The difference can either be billed or refunded at that time, or reflected as an adjustment in monthly billing for the next twelve months.

Questions

ShareSource is a totally different way to purchase printing and copy services. So, you will undoubtedly have lots of questions. The fact is: ShareSource has to work for both you and Riverside. But ShareSource is worth investigating. If it works, it’s simple, easy-to-use, and it will save you time, labor and money.

ShareSource is the new paradigm in print purchasing. It’s one of Riverside’s BIG NEW Ideas. Why not see if it can work for you?
