No order, really. And an end-of-the-year tradition.

Enjoy.

1. More Than Managed Print Services - Born Free, You and Me

2. MPS Selling Appointment: "This is Turning Out to Be One Hell of a Morning!"

Merry Christmas...2010

1980-84ish.

Every Christmas season, blasted out of the dorm room window, on the top floor, the ninth floor, Oakland University, Rochester, Michigan.

The name of our floor, "Penthouse" - is it any wonder?

Merry Christmas to all!

Managed Print Services is Dead - "...alas poor MPS-Guy...I knew thee well..."

I love it.

Just as everyone figures out how to spell MPS, industry pundits kill it.

Photizo called heavy growth rates in MPS Engagements through 2015 - of course, this was back in the "olden days" - 2009!

Last year at Lyra, consultants and statisticians explained that we will never return to the same levels of units (copier) sold, pre-2009.

Do you get that? Does anyone?

Why yes, some do...some have all along. HP buys EDS, and Xerox takes ACS.

Why paint MPS all black? Why kill MPS after just three short years? Why blacken the Sun?

I've said it before. Change releases fear and fear motivates.

Contrary to what the Imaging Intelligentsia bloviate, we are not witnessing the beginning of the End Managed Print Services - we are seeing the last gasp of "Print Services"(it's the "M" - stupid)
