The
1990s cost reduction concept of corporate
downsizing created the need for companies to outsource
a host of business support functions. A counter-concept
is now necessary to deal with the proliferation
of external business relationships. And for good
reason! With less, more directed manpower, companies
are finding it increasingly difficult to manage
their growing number of one-dimensional vendor
relationships.
American is
a hybrid company that capitalized on the best
aspects of partnering with independent ownership
and a company that allows for decision-making
at the sales level. This structure eliminates
unnecessary management and accelerates the development
of business solutions. Empowerment of people at
all levels within American is one key to our success.
It allows the freedom to work toward a solution
without restrains. You dont hear, "No,
it cant be done." Instead you hear,
"How can we do it?"
Effective
business management requires a continuous concern
for controlling costs while providing quality
products and services to customers. This basic
function of controlling costs extends to every
aspect of business operations including the purchase
of business forms, envelopes, commercial printing,
promotional items, direct mail and packaging.
I
want to make your decision to choose American
as easy as possible. We are therefore prepared
to offer ironclad
guarantees concerning our products, services,
and prices.
