Jiji Press TOKYO (Jiji Press) — Japanese businesses are accelerating steps to move their production of goods bound for the U.S. out of China, as the two countries implemented their latest tariff increases on each other’s goods Sunday. With no end in sight for the U.S.-China trade war, Japan’s capital spending, which has been supporting the domestic economy, declined for the first time in two years in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, which started in April. A Finance Ministry survey released...

Earlier last year I suggested that the acquisition activity through the imaging channel seemed a bit out of touch with the realities of the market. My argument stems from the lack of diversification in products, services and their business structure. I questioned then and still question the logic in buying up a declining deliverable, a deliverable which continues to evaporate revenues and profits. Without a change in structure and product diversification, it seems many will soon realize what...

You do have a point about the declining deliverables. But there are other dealers that are raising the stakes with IT and Content. One of our big initiatives this year is to have double digit growth with content.

The dealers will also have to redefine how they deliver to the majority of their print customers.

When it becomes time to change the deliverables it will be too late for many of them. Personally, I don't think the change will come that quick to SMB accounts. Larger accounts without a doubt, going to come down to geographical markets here in the US.

One of the best transformations I know of happened a couple of years ago in Minnesota, a BTA sized dealer sold his entire print division to Marco. the owner turned his business into a software-only company, they are currently doing amazing things with Laserfiche and Sharepoint,

While at ImageQuest as its COO a few years ago they too sold their entire print business. Now they are one of the best and most profitable Managed IT And IT Securities company in the business.
