The Week in Copiers Ten Years Ago The Second Week in October 2010
With the Xerox OEM agreement ending in April of 2021 with FujiFilm. Xerox needs a partner since failed attempt to buy HP. Rumors are also out there that Fuji Film may be looking to establish a beach head in the USA for their MFP's (that would be the Xerox enterprise MFP's). Fuji Film has already stated they will still OEM for Xerox after the OEM agreement has ended. But if Fuji enters the USA market then will they cut the agreement with Xerox?

Let me put it this way: I've had trouble trying to come up with the distinctions between Sharp machines and the others to use as selling points. Will it be any different if I go with Ricoh? I've been told that the Ricoh dealership will provide much better sales training than my current company, so maybe these issues will be answered at that time.

Ricoh product ranks at the top of the industry. That being said, selling today is about far more than the box. What other value can you bring to the table with a given vendor/dealer? How about professional services, managed print services, software solutions, etc... I would take all of these into account when contemplating a move. If you are with or go to a dealer that only sells "boxes" you are limiting your self.
