I think the first time I met Mike Stramaglio (CEO/President MWA Intelligence) was at some National Ricoh event when he was President of Hitachi Koki Imaging Systems. At the time, I was with Jack Carroll (former principal of Century Office Products), I did not have to chance to speak with Mike at that event but listened carefully as Mike and Jack traded off a few stories about the Minolta days. After Mike had left, I asked Jack, "who was that?". Jack then proceeded to give me the low down on...

I thought that keynote speaker Chris Messina (technologist and inventor of the hashtag) was awesome! I guess I’m a technology geek at heart and his talk track about the past, the present and the future of user interface technology coupled with AI was enlightening. I posted a few of those talk tracks on Linkedin earlier and since I’m using my iPad tonight it won’t be as easy as I thought to capture and post them tonight. According to Chris user interfaces change almost every ten years and the...

This Week in the Copier Industry Five Years Ago First Week of August 2017 sponsored by I'm a firm believer that if you want change, then you need to offer up ideas on how to make those changes. Continued rants and bluster gets you nowhere with your peers in the industry. Those on the outside looking in or those that have lost their way is that an attractive audience? Wouldn't you want to the voice of change and then be the one that can also offer up ways to change? I love our industry! I...

While driving to an account today, I couldn't help but thinking about a new rep that just started with us. Our business is nothing like it was almost forty years ago. My job was to pick up the phone and or cold call for scheduling demonstrations of copiers. We had maybe four different models of copiers and the only accessories that were available was additional paper trays. Back then you could focus and get results. Today is much different and I don't have to tell everyone how convoluted our...
