Seat Based Billing is a concept bringing the future to the present. Last week I attended Print Audit’s Seat Based Billing Roadshow. The Roadshow was held the day before the BTA meeting in Kansas City. I decided to attend both. The SBB roadshow was informative. It is always refreshing when I see organizations bringing the future to the present. A company becomes obsolete when it focuses on bringing the past to the future instead of bringing the future to the present. For that, I give Print...

I had to find away to not sell my client another copier aka MFP. That client told me they thought they were printing too much volume on the A4 MFP they purchased 3 years ago.
