The study will contribute vital market information to provide an understanding of this new phenomenon within the printing industry. The study will benefit traditional print service providers who are struggling to understand this opportunity, as well as those who have implemented or plan on implementing e-Business solutions. The primary research will be of value to dot-com start-ups, vendors of supply chain management solutions looking to add print e-procurement to their repertoire and to the many print procurement organizations desiring the latest information for redesigning their business processes and the management of printed materials. The multi-client study will examine the current state of e-commerce in the printing industry, project future developments and provide recommendations for service providers and their customers alike.

"The dramatic changes in the printing industry being driven by the Web and the plethora of print e-procurement solutions is the biggest thing to happen to our industry since the invention of offset printing in 1904. This study will be the most complete source of information about current print e-procurement market sizing, forecasted growth and emerging business in the printing and publishing industry, and will provide subscribers with actionable recommendations as they explore their options to stay competitive in a market that is changing at a dizzying pace,"noted Cary Sherburne, Director of the CAP Ventures' Document Outsourcing Consulting group.

The market research will include profiles of existing print e-procurement providers, interviews with buyers of print through the web, print service providers and the SOHO marketplace. Through this extensive analysis, CAP Ventures will provide a comprehensive understanding of the opportunities, issues and strategies for print procurement and how this business is likely to develop in the future.

Companies can arrange for advanced participation now at a discounted price and help direct the focus of the research.
