However with too litte outlets. The partnership with KM did not counter this issue.<br /><br />With the Canon deal Oce Technologies will be able outperform the sales channel for their technology and increasing hardware sales and service revenue by real numbers:<br /><br />Very High Volume, continues feed:<br />- Océ JetStream, Océ ColorStream 10000 and Océ ColorStream 9400. <br /><br />Wideformat:<br />Océ ColorWave 600<br /><br />Document Production (Cutsheet):<br />VarioPrint 6000 Ultra (up to 314 ppm)<br /><br />Unfortunally their seven color technology failed. But the technology knowledge is in place.<br /><br />Services<br />Oce Business Services has shown a steady grow over last 10 years and is ready to expand together with Canon Managed Document Services<br /><br />Graphical Industry<br />Oce has build a strong position in the commercial market offering real competition to Xerox and Kodak. Ricoh is not a real player in this segment due lack of products and experience.<br /><br />Supplies<br />As Oce has propriety CopyPress technology, all the supplies is comming from Oce. No competion!<br /><br />R&D<br />With Oce Canon sells a huge and experienced technology center in Europe.<br /> <br />Canon just released the new ImageRunner Advance platform for office and crd.<br /><br />Conclussion: Up2date self-owned technology in all segments, ready to sell and services revenue. and a experienced professional business services organization.

To purchase IKON Ricoh had to use a mixture of internal and external funding. It will be interesting to see where Canon goes next--- the HP and Oce' moves are pretty indicative that they're not going to go down without a fight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734830559796197063.post-3076954567186107262009-11-16T16:38:44.969-06:002009-11-16T16:38:44.969-06:00Océ has a #1 position in wideformat and #1 VHV bw+...Océ has a #1 position in wideformat and #1 VHV bw+clr continuesfeed (financial transaction, book on demand and publishing) segments. In A4 bw Oce ships the world fastest printsystem (>300 ppm). In Europe and US Oce adds a lot of Managed Document Services experience to the Canon portfolio.<br /><br />So it seems that Canon is building a very strong #1 position in all output segments.docufactshttp://www.docufacts.nlnoreply@blogger.com
