Re: Sharp Becomes First MFP Provider Working With Alexa for Business to Enhance Technology in the Workplace
ok, it's got some sizzle, but where is the beef? Practically no one copies anymore, thus the only use I can see is for scanning. I have five Alexa's at home, great for playing music and asking questions. I guess I could ask Alexa "scan documents to Rob", and with out noticing Alexa sends those documents to "Bob". I just don't see the applications, can someone enlighten me, maybe someone who was at the recent Sharp event?

Re: Alexa & Xerox MFP with voice interaction (Video)
interesting, but no one copies documents that much anymore. The other stuff is pretty cool also. I do think that Alexa does have a place in the office as a research tool, rather than scrolling through pages of the internet. "Alexa, how many images per minute can the Ricoh MP C2504SPex scan at 300dpi?" Now that would be cool for competitive data collection.

Re: Alexa & Xerox MFP with voice interaction (Video)
I have read in several places that this new class of personal assistants such as Alexa are seen as potential security hazards. No IT manager would ever allow it. If you like to swear at or kick your copier, Alexa will likely not respond.
