A DOTC Shout Out to All the Managed Print Services Peeps in and around Detroit: Kid Rock - Roll On

Coleman Young and the People Mover.

COBO to Joe Louis, Devil's Night, FoMoCo in the RenCen, GM in the RenCen.

Greek Town, Woodward and Eight Mile, Boblo, the Big Fist, to the Uniroyal Tire - The Dirty D.

Times are bad - they've been worse, well maybe not.

Its all just a big roller coaster, like the ones at Cedar Point.

Some day, the boys in Honolulu blue will be in the superbowl, someday.



Sitting here alone
I'm looking back on where I've roamed
And laughin, now I swore
I'd win and not get burned
Left my family, left my home
I worked my fingers to the bone
And there was not a stone
I did not leave unturned..."


Enjoy-

Managed Print Services:Benchmarks and Approaches From Everything Channel

Sponsered by the Big "X".

We here at tDOTC do not regularly blow sunshine up the "big-guys'" skirts(ew) - but this 11 minute video at first caught my eye and then delivered.

Benchmarks, derived from PagePak activity, on revenue, margin and length of term are packed into this small video.

It is not bad - I cannot vouch for the accuracy, but, the numbers match what I have seen in the field, and I am not a Xerox-head.

Learn and enjoy.

For Two Years - This has been played here on DOTC on 9-11

Managed Print Services: The Case Against Auto-Generated Proposals

4/2010

"The heaviest proposal wins..."

"We gotta have the company history in this proposal..."

"And don't forget the spec sheets..."

"This will be easy, I can just use the last proposal we did, and search and replace..."

Sound familiar?

Let me ask you something, do you read books?

What keeps you interested?

It's the story, isn't it?

Somehow, your favorite writer or a nice article you spend time with engages you and tells you something new, yet familiar.

Now, do you think that article or book was boiler-plated into existence?

Do you think Stephen King, goes out, asks a bunch of potential readers what they like and what scares them, imports all that "data" into a tool, clicks "go" and out pops the next best seller?

"No, Greg, I don't think Stephen King clicks on "go" and a best seller pops out." - good answer.
