Please click our DocuWare link. Our industry is moving at full speed for business intelligence solutions, document management and the recent cache of classified paper based documents when Joe Biden was VP.
Keep in mind that DocuWare can create some awesome workflows that can add digital security to documents that have been scanned, received via email along with documents that have been created and stored.
There's so many opportunities for us especially after the recent weeks news of the Biden documents. I'm thinking we can use Trump and Biden as the poster boys for our campaigns. The banner above is clickable and please check them out because it also helps me to pay the bills

Art, you've got to look at it this way. there is almost no residual on a machine that is 5 years old these days. Most 5 year old digitals are junk. Would you sell an Aficio 400 or 500 now? They're only 5 years old. The machines on 3 or 4 year leases do have value. You and I are both selling used 550's and 650's. They still are decent machines. In a year or so, however, they too will be basically junk. So from the leasing company's view, a 5 year FMV lease is a write off when they get it
