Talk:American Reprographics Company

Is this anything more than an advertisement? -- Zoe


Made it into a bit less of an ad. --The Cunctator


I am an employee of an ARC company. The editorializing under the "criticism" section is the most company-friendly version of the history of ARC that is available. While I don't have enough time with the company and perspective to know if it's true (and I have never and will never edit this page out of respect of the conflict of interest), the "criticism" section reads as a justification for ARC's business model, rather than an analysis of it. As such it is extremely biased (in the company's favor), and probably not very useful without either a more neutral writing, or an accompanying counterpoint. To suggest that ARC single-handedly saved the reprographics industry is hubris at best. Consolidation was probably inevitable. The article, however, makes it sound as if consolidation specifically by ARC was inevitable, and the savior of the industry. --12.148.54.126 18:50, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
