Amsterdam, The Netherlands –
October 22, 2009 – The Photizo Group continues to grow in response to the
burgeoning need for Managed Print Services research, consultation and community.
With the opening of a new European office in London, England, the total number
of Photizo Group locations is now five. Company headquarters are in Versailles
Kentucky, with staff in Boston, New York and Austin, and the newest office in
London. Photizo has also expanded its executive force. Senior Consultant Steven
Swift now heads up the London office for Europe, while David Cameron, PhD, has
joined the company as Senior Consultant and Partner.
“Interest in the MPS
market continues to expand, as more companies and vendors adopt these business
models. It is important for the Photizo Group to maintain both the market
coverage and the expertise to ensure our customers stay abreast of developments
and achieve their MPS goals,” said Ed Crowley, CEO and Senior Partner of the
Photizo Group. “We are thrilled to have such esteemed professionals as David and
Steven join Photizo. Their contributions are already being felt as we add more
value through our MPS services.”

experience in developing innovative products and services to a new market. This

to the industry,” said Cameron.
"I am delighted to be joining Photizo at
such an exciting time. MPS is a concept whose time has truly come, and we can

established itself as the industry thought leader in MPS, and is in pole
position to provide independent, authoritative market intelligence to both
vendors and users,” said Swift. “I have over 15 years experience in the printing
and imaging business, and I have been involved with the development of MPS from
its earliest days. I hope to put that experience to good use, helping vendors
and users throughout Europe"
