If MFP's are the On-Ramp to the Cloud . . .

Bytes Document Solutions launches cost-effective Xerox MFPs, printer range:
"Johannesburg, 6 February 2009 ] - Bytes Document Solutions, Xerox distributor to 24 African countries, has launched two new low-cost multifunction printers (MFPs) and one laser printer into the South African market.

The new offering includes the Xerox Phaser 3100MFP multifunction printer and the Xerox Phaser 3635MFP multifunction printer, devices that print, copy, scan and fax and the Phaser 3250 monochrome laser printer."

Consider:

1. Bytes Document Solutions has feet on the ground in 24 African countries with great MFP's. (thanks, again engineers)

2. Everyone in Africa is going to need textbook type things because education is so top of the agenda

3. Whatever government money or foreign aid is going to be spent on health and eduction.

4. Doing eduction is being on the side of the angels.

5. MFP's can link Print to the Cloud.

6. Printing content from the Cloud is our sweet spot.

6. More textbook like product means more clicks.

Q: Why don't we catalyze the textbook like business over there and not even have to get into a fight with the American oligopoly, here? . . . until we get it just right over there.
