Re: HP has been positioned as a “leader” in the latest Gartner “Magic Quadrant Report for
I'm fascinated by Gartner's ability to collect money for declaring that HP is a leader in printers. Imagine the possibilities. Would anyone like to buy a report from me in which I reveal the top two US cola companies? Anyone?

Re: Sales Tips
Time Management Tools. Although there is no magic solution for time management that fits everyone, you must make a decision to take control of your life and implement a system. It's okay to adapt and modify whichever system you choose but you must make a decision to begin your time management system TODAY.

Re: Duplicator and sorting ideas
Jim: As always, GREAT STUFF! I have been successful with selling duplicators in the P4P industry. I sell the CTP (Computer to Plate) technology as the only way to buy. I will show the customer samples in my "art porfolion" (as long as he likes the quality), I will then ask him how many jobs do you think you can pull away from the press every month? Once he gives me his answer, I have ammunition I need to cost justify the duplicator or move on to the next print shop. After this step we set...

Re: What Happened with the RICOH Pro L4000
I hope Ricoh can bring back the magic they had when Linda ran the division. Plotworks has been a great product with great support once you learn the capabilities. It is an excellent PlotBase replacement product. I cannot think of a better time to be selling Wide Format- here in the SE, industry is back on it's feet and growing.

Re: What's the application that will cause Capture to really grow in the MFP space
Geeesh, you ask a great question! I really not sure if there is an answer for that. All of my accounts scan whether it's scan2email or scan2folder. Most are then moving those documents to a place on the server or another pc where they are stored in a windows alpha tree folder structure. When I speak about entering meta data at the copier, so that they can perform a better search, it seems to have turned them off. Many users feel that they can find the documents that they've scanned and don't...

Re: What's the application that will cause Capture to really grow in the MFP space
So, you mentioned features...maybe the ability to just scan the document into a single repository while entering no meta data, no barcodes, and then the ability to find that document. I know it sounds kinda crazy but wouldn't that be the holy grail?

Re: What's the application that will cause Capture to really grow in the MFP space
Art: I certainly agree based on my past experience, people don't want to spend a lot of time typing information at the control panel. And I think I agree for some applications, having "auto-sorting" is the ideal. But does anyone see the need for scanning and pulling data into an application for analysis not just indexing?

Re: What's the application that will cause Capture to really grow in the MFP space
I actually have that application for two current prospects and even though both will benefit from the improved workflow, one is stalled and the other is scheduled for Feb time line. On the application that is stalled we need to extract data from a form and populate the data in another format, the ideal format would be excel, however my support people are suggested MS365, and that's where the deal has stalled and I guess it's stalled because the solution would not be one that generates a lot...

Re: What's the application that will cause Capture to really grow in the MFP space
Well we might be able to make these sort of applications easier for you. We have a tool that automatically identies what type of form is being scanned and can store it automatically based on rules. We also can automatically extract data and then pass it along to a destination app like Excel, MS 365, Oracle or something else.

Re: What's the application that will cause Capture to really grow in the MFP space
End users will not embrace a solution that asks them to enter all the meta data themselves nor should they. It is simply not productive. In a busy environment you cannot have people fumbling with a virtual keyboard to input data for a scan job while the line behind them grows. This is where software comes into play which will "read" the scanned image and capture relevant metadata to attach to the document for indexing in the DMS. Relieving the user of this burden and getting the most...

Re: Fujitsu Introduces New Production Scanner Featuring Advanced Paper Handling Technology to Enhance Productivity and Maximize Efficiency

Re: Ricoh White Boards
We just placed our first one. You say it's pricey but that is because you are also calling it a White Board.

Re: Linkedin success with DM's
In my experience, connecting with c-level execs on Linkedin has about the same success level as picking up the phone or e-mailing. Since you have more visibility into the execs work history, interests, and connections, LI can feel like the "magic prospecting pill" when in fact it is just another avenue to try and establish connection. Whatever ratio you put into number of phone calls, translates to number of meetings, translates to numbers of sales. The same formula holds true for messaging...
