And the winner is...ARC (American Reprographics Co.) - TA DAA!

In the spirit of the Golden Globe nomination announcements and because this the time of year when other companies, websites and organizations are compiling their own Best of 2010 we thought we would let you know that ARC BERTL (Business Equipment, Research & Test Laboratories) has won the best AEC project management and collaboration tool for 2010. This product has only been out for a few months now and it is quickly gaining traction in this community as the Go To solution for our industry.
Imagine being able to upload, share and mark up project documents in one location from anywhere you have an internet connection. Using PW Collaborate eliminates the need to use FTP, Email, 3 party Take Off tools separately by consolidating all of these tools to a cloud based system for everyone on your team to work together in real time.

01-01-2011

You’re going to notice a new name and logo on our shops, business cards, and important documents in the near future. On January 1, 2011, Reprographics Northwest is going to adopt its parent company’s name, ARC.

As you may know, we merged with ARC in years ago to offer more service, products, and technology to our customers, and create greater opportunities for our local employees.

Since that time, we’ve added tremendous capacity in to our facilities. We’ve introduced innovative technology solutions to help you manage your projects and the way you manage your documents. We’ve also exchanged best practices and experience with hundreds of our sister locations throughout North America and around the world.

Not only have we brought the world to the Puget Sound Region, but we’ve also brought Puget Sound Region to the world!

While being a part of ARC is important to us, we have always had tremendous pride in serving this community. That won’t change. Our people and their commitment to you won’t change, either.

Please look for our new logo on important documents and presentations in the near future. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. We’ll make sure to check in with your accounting department as well to ensure a smooth administrative transition. Our Tax ID will not change yet but we will let you know if and when any of these changes take place.

We’re excited to bring the name ARC to our region and we hope you will be, too.
