A Job Well Done

Hooks always kept a close eye on technology changes, installing a DocuTech long before most shops had heard of the device. Perhaps his biggest accomplishment was his consolidation of the company's copiers under a single contract. Previously, every division was allowed to purchase its own copiers, resulting in about 700 different contracts with many different vendors. After six years of effort, Hooks negotiated a single contract that saved Lockheed Martin $265,000 a year.
