Case Based Knowledge
The challenge for most printing organizations is that the ability to solve problems or improve the business is limited to the education and experience of its personnel and management. Printing companies can overcome this limitation by retaining a consultancy like Profectus, with a diversified case knowledgebase.

Case-based knowledge is becoming an increasingly imperative success factor for printing businesses. The idea is to solve new problems by implementing previous solutions to similar problems. Rather then trying to construct generalizations. The greater the knowledgebase, the more efficient and effective the problem resolution process.
