This Week in the Copier Industry Ten Years Ago
Second Week of October 2017
sponsored by
Who knew? Seems I posted a press release ten years ago for EveryOne Print writing about cloud printing. I head in the cloud for to many years and didn't realize the technology has been around for years. All the more reason for many of us to wrap our head around the cloud and offer solutions that most IT peeps enjoy!
I'm looking for help, I need to reach out to KM, Toshiba and HP principals. I'm willing to offer free Premium/VIP memberships for the team along with some other stuff. Please contact me for details apost@p4photel.com
