XDU in Baltimore, MD
August 10, 2011
August 10, 2011
Once again a quality show was put on by Xplor. We had two vendor speakers
and two end user speakers, and Skip.
It should be mentioned that on Tuesday Evening, the night before the XDU meeting, we held an 'Old Timer's Gathering' which was open to all members of Xplor International. While we had only 6 attendees, we had a lot of fun and a lot of reminiscing of friends old and new. We toasted long time member Barry Lietuvnikas who passed away this past April, something we were sure he would like. And we laughed and cried over news of our long-time Xplor friends.
Wednesday found us getting started with the meeting at 9 AM with some opening remarks by Skip. I will do my best to outline the presentations in this document.
Opening Remarks
Xplor stands for Xerox Printing Liaison ORganization.
The XDU series started in 2006
There is a webinar held the third Thursday of every month called Lunch and Learn
The 2012 Conference will be held March 27-29 at the Trade Winds in St. Pete Beach, Florida. Theme of this conference will be 'Making it Relevant'.
Building Successful ADF Platforms
Ligia Mora, Solimar Systems, Inc.
Outsourcing is no longer limited to Call Centers, but is also being used for software development, data processing, and medical transactions
However there is now difficulty with regulations
For every dollar spent on printing, another $6 is spent on managing print workflow. 86% of the cost is incurred in non-printing tasks.
PDF is now easier to be formatted
It is very important to get data back from the printer.
Solimar's solution is named Solitrak.

The Seven Successful Laws of Web to Print!
Willie Brennan, Custom Print Now
This is about online procurement of print documents
Uses internet to purchase, customize order
W2P is data and personalization on steroids
Essential elements - corporate buy in, high quality content, automated
System will be as strong a the weakest link, and the weakest link is the user.
Print Grows Trees
Paul Foster
Campaign - direct link between using paper and sustainable management of forests
Targeted to consumers
Industry plants a couple of billion trees a year
THINK before we DON'T print
65% of all paper in the U.S. is currently recycled
Paper decomposes in 2-4 weeks
Average data center serving electronic devices consumes the same amount of energy as 25,000 households
By 2018 printing related jobs are projected to decline by 16% and newspaper publishing jobs by 23.2%

PRINT. The renewable way a responsible world communicates.
"Print Grows Trees" is an educational campaign that uses facts to show that print on paper actually helps to grow trees and keep our forests from being sold for development. By connecting the dots between print and the private landowners who own almost 60 percent of U.S. woodlands, "Print Grows Trees" challenges the widely held belief that by using less paper, trees will be saved.
