its “InHausPost” service – operating of in-house mailrooms for clients
on an outsourcing basis – GMS was able to increase revenue from
existing and new contracts to DM 28 million, up from DM 10 million
the year before. GMS also expanded into the printing business, offer-
ing printing, post-print processing and copying services. It can now
plan and manage the entire in-house document flow of large corpora-
tions and institutions. GMS aims at extending its consulting and

are to be achieved through the digitization of handling incoming mail

documents.
