I've been in the copier industry for 40 years. Our industry has always been somewhat recession proof since we provide technology services. With another round of lay-offs in recent weeks it seems our industry is not immune to COVID19. We must be prepared for doing business in a post COVID19 business world. Which means protection of our workplace along with putting safeguards in place to protect our clients while we are in their place of business. These plans need to be developed and finalized...

Years ago I use to burn the late night candle pretty often. In some cases I would still find myself emailing a prospect at 2AM in the morning. In most cases the email was to schedule a meeting for later that week. Those late night emails was just something I was use to. It wasn't until one of my clients made mention of the email that arrived at 2AM. Of course he didn't see it until he arrived at work. But this client went on to tell me that he wished he had more sales people like me, meaning...

I have an IT friend who names the printers on his client's networks after the Seven Dwarfs. If he runs out of dwarfs he uses other Disney characters. I always know when I'm in one of his client's offices.

Re: Leapfrog Managed Services from Muratec
Focusing on gaining more market-share in the copier industry is a fool's game, unless you're the manufacturer. Dealers that hope to be around & profitable in the future have to find alternative revenue streams, because the fact of the matter is that not everyone needs a $15,000 A3 MFP when in many cases a $1,000 A4 MFP will do. For the dealer community, it has to be about capturing profitable recurring revenue streams, whether that be through SaaS solutions, MPS, Managed Services, BPO,...

Re: Top Ten MFP & Imaging Industry Predictions for 2016
Nice! I would like to contribute a few of my own predictions as well: Xerox will sell its MFP division to focus entirely on production equipment and business services. Toshiba Tec will not sell nor merge with Sharp. Toshiba is too much of a powerhouse in North America alone. Konica Minolta will continue opening up direct branches due to the rapid growth of their brand. These branches will quickly fall apart when they realize that the dealer model is more profitable. Samsung will start...

What is a Simple Workflow That Can Benefit Attorneys? "Part V for Print Audit LAW"
About a week ago I reached out to my friends at Print Audit for some advise for a PA6 LAW installation that I was working on. While speaking with Paul Giorgi at Print Audit, I stated that if we can automate paper based billing for copies and prints with software, then that's a workflow right? Thus, with PA6 we would be eliminating the countless hours that are required to capture the pages, and cost the appropriate pages to the correct billing account. In addition, we...
