Gordon Hoen, former chief executive officer of Print Solutions Australia, will work as executive chairman of Upstream Print Solutions.Tilley claimed few organisations know what print and copy output costs their business and Upstream can help businesses identify and reduce those cost“In our experience, many businesses have realised that outsourced managed print services is the most cost-effective way to control document costs, but they’re looking for an independent alternative to equipment manufacturers. Upstream is that alternative,” added Tilley.Upstream Print Solutions has nearly 300 employees and all staff will be retained.
