The Next Great Managed Print Services Dude - Team Sheen, Let Crazy Lead


Hookers, Pornstars, F18's and Total Victory on all fronts.

Chuck Sheen! 

Talk about "To the Right of the Bell Curve".  Wowzie.

He's our MPS Rising star.

Why?  Because he is full on, 100% crazy.  But crazy with a plan, passion and focus.

It's about time we get a nutty male in the "papers" vs. Lindsey, Britney, Paris, etc.

The way I look at it, with Chuck out there, lowering the bar and making 'crazy' more common, all us other MPS Madmen, start to look a bit more normal.

Am I right?

DeathOfTheCopier's Greg Walters to Present at the 2011 North American Managed Print Services Conference

MPS/BPM/ITO/BPO/VAR/BTA/MSP/OEM players Unite!

Imaging Geekdom, Nirvana...ah...yes..

Third year in a row. Mark your calenders. May 4, 2011 - 10:30AM, Orlando, Fla.

Greg Walters - Case Study; Building an MPS Program within an IT / MSP organization(SIGMAnet)

To say I am looking forward to this simple, 50 minute presentation, is an understatement.

I could easily fill 500 slides and if we go by the book, hours would seem like days.

I jest.  Well, no not really.

Thrill packed, adventure filled, fog machines and disco-balls, this harangue will be streamed all over the globe; a brief history of a road traveled.

An Odyssey, or at least one chapter of many. The struggles, challenges and conquests of an MPS within an MSP.

Alert the authorities.

The 2011 Global Managed Print Conference - Why You Should Not Attend

Ed and the gang over at Photizo are going to kill me for the headline, let alone the picture.

Let me explain.

Three years ago few talked about real Managed Print Services - but Photizo was.

Toner re-man guys were saying, "...we've been doing MPS for 25 years..." - this before most defined MPS.

I am not kidding, at ITEX, 2009 one schmoe had the gall to say this to my face, and then try to sell me on remanufactured, color toner cartridges.

Indeed, so many folks tried to define MPS in their likeness, it became really funny to watch. And those doing all the defining had never DONE MPS.  But Photizo had The MPS Adoption Model.

Back then, copier guys were simply trying to stay alive - not much has changed today - the OEM's had no clue and the IT sector saw nothing wrong with 2 point printer deals, attached to CarePacks.  Okay, so maybe that hasn't changed all that much either.

The 2011 Global MPS Conference is going to be huge - to date, the number of registered matches the number of attendees at the 2009 Conference. 

When most  charge for the honor of speaking and need to piggy-back with other, failing conferences, how many shows do you know that are experiencing an INCREASE in attendance?
