Managed Print Services Emerges as Market Niche:

Comment July 22, 2009

"I worked a combined 22 years at Xerox, IKON and Ricoh (Lanier) primarily in their outsourcing divisions. 5 years ago I joined all of you as an entrepeneur and bought an existing Quick Print company. 2 years ago I started a Managed Print Services (MPS) company as well.

Our MPS program has become quickly profitable because we are willing to support printers and MFDs of every make and model, as virtually every company in America has more than one manufacturer in their print fleet. All the manufacturers (Xerox, HP, IKON / Ricoh) find it impossible to manage competitive brands.

Since we can manage all manufacturer’s, we are able to provide, in most cases, the most cost-effective solution to our clients. As a Quick printer and MPS provider we are now able to cross-sell printing services with MPS…thus providing a much more recession-proof business model. MPS is something every printing company should look at."
