Anders, You read this the way you wanted. I am by far NOT predicting the end of the world. I am predicting the end of customers in the Imaging Channel being oversold based on outdated business processes. The technologies being exposed to organizations today will change their business processess and cause a speed up to the SMB's digitization. Regarding NEXERA they are the only organization in the world with data on service activity based on nearly 5 million devices. The article was written to...

"Repetitive learning is a Procrastinator's Journey." It's not about Chairs or seats, no meters, one-rate, everything free, or what a few minuscule-dealers with less than 100 customers claim to be doing new ever week, which will align the Copier/Printer industry with the realities of the marketplace. It's about smart business people understanding the importance of data over the noise of nonsense. Those who follow me will remember back when the industry started filling seats in courses on how...

Let's explore the reasons ECI's E-Automate is maintaining and adding to its massive customer base of Imaging Channel dealers and why I believe dealers should not, at this point, attempt to replace an ERP. Today there's a copious of solutions for resellers to manage individual deliverables. The imaging channel resellers, managed IT service resellers, or our friends delivering office products. These reseller groups are in-fact consolidating and even converging into each other's spaces. This...

In this article, I will share what I envision coming, and some things dealers can immediately do to soften the impact of that vision. As the Industry's Customers investigate and explore their current circumstances so, must the dealers who sell and service them. Any mis-alignment will prove way too costly now and in the future. Over the last couple of weeks, the industry has been dished a new reality. The work from home business model is now mainstream, and many, including me, believe there's...

Great stuff on inventory management from one of our Print4Pay Hotel sponsors

“Anytime my imagination comes to life; it reminds me to imagine more.” So, it’s been a busy week in the print equipment and its services industry. I say, hang on because the speed of its disruption is going to increase. Thanks, Carl Icahn, for hopefully wakening the industry’s leaders to disrupt themselves. Throughout history, most industries were disrupted by outsiders. So, this move by Carl Icahn is welcomed by those insiders determined to kick the ass of the channel’s complacency and...

Lack of processes and procedures Inaccurate or late financial reporting Inability to forecast or budget Poor or non-existent accounting technology integrations Personnel churn, lack of internal expertise, theft Costly CPA rate for non-CPA services (i.e., bookkeeping) No strategic planning in place What say you? Are any one of these happening at your dealership? Below I've added a graphic that may help with fixing the accounting department. In some cases fixing may not be the right road to...

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...

As the print equipment and services industry continues declining it's time to evaluate all aspects of the deliverable. In the days of its growth it made sense for dealers to sell all the industry's equipment. However, today dealers should question that approach. Here are my thoughts on Production Print. There seems to be a lot of talk regarding Production Print. However, if that talk turned into a discussion based on realities, most would listen with caution. The Imaging Channel is chasing...

Clicking that icon will take you the collection of blogs that we've posted with our amazing industry veterans who were selling copiers in the seventies.

Hey, what can I say. ITEX 2019 was awesome for a number of reasons. I arrived late Monday evening and was picked up at McCarren by my new brother Pete. We had no more than 30 minutes to chat that night on our drive to the MGM Grand, however we spent the entire next day to getting to know each other better. This was my first visit to the MGM and I thought venue was incredible. I could have done without the forty-five minute wait to check in though. Wednesday Wednesday morning and I'm up at...

So the answer to all our problems is sell Lexmark A4, use Nexera data to help us manage our company better and then sell on our website as an e-commerce company. Simple, thanks for the info.
