What will be changed (investment, Umsatzsteigerung, EVA)

Measurements to increase sales

Despite the bleak economic outlook at present, the key determinants of the future development of Copybee continue to lie in our ability to successfully increase our sales (by raising volumes in current markets, expanding into new regions, tapping new applications like mobility ) and to use innovative technologies to reduce our costs.

Measurements in investments

There is a high degree of uncertainty related to the realization of investment projects and the current credit crunch and economic crisis, but for future decisions we want to invest in a new color copier.
To do so, we have to consider if we want to produce this new product on our own or if we should rather outsource:

Outsourcing Pro:
• Lower costs, which can achieve and guarantee only the service provider
• Higher quality of services offered by the provider
• Better spatial coverage of the provider
• Greater experience of the vendor with a particular field or technology
Outsourcing Con:
