Exclusive MPSInsights.com Interview: How HP and FedEx Are Partnering to
“Change the Face of Retail Print on Demand”
Top execs share visionary ideas for meeting printing needs of 41 million mobile users
LEXINGTON, KY – May 13, 2010—From the perspective of two brand titans, Hewlett-Packard and FedEx, the face of retail print on demand is about to change, and they are working together to capitalize on that trend. Printing needs to go where the “office” is going, and that means following a mobile work force. An exclusive MPSInsights.com interview with HP’s Bruce Dahlgren, Senior Vice President of the Imaging and Printing Group, and John Tomesco, Vice President of Enterprise Market Development; and Brian Phillips, President and CEO of FedEx Office, revealed a synergistic partnering strategy that embraces managed print services.
While not a “classic” MPS engagement, the HP/FedEx model anticipates the printing needs of millions of FedEx Office walk-up customers users who can launch print jobs from their mobile devices. The HP ePrint mobile printing service can be incorporated into a corporate MPS contract in a number of ways to capitalize on this huge potential market. It’s part of a new services delivery platform, the HP MPS Smart Decision Suite, that lets customers analyze, report and predict the use of their imaging and printing devices through an HP MPS engagement.
