The market of book polygraphy is reduced many years in a row. At the same time every year circulations decrease, and the competition becomes more tough. In these conditions without production optimization the profit of our enterprise could decrease significantly. Therefore four years ago we opened the digital direction better to compete in a segment of small circulations. The Xerox Impika Evolution installation became the next step on the way of evolving of this direction. Roman Trunov, the CEO of JSC Vysshaya shkola Publishing House told
