    Connectivity, manufacturing, software development, business, society and, yes, even managed print have converged into a borderless, almost transparent solution.

  • WILL WORKFLOW RENDER PAPER USELESS AS A MEDIUM?

    1105

    Remember when nobody wanted to get into managed print services because it was intended to “reduce costs by reducing prints and the number of devices” in the field? Heck, in the early days, I had dealers come up and give me grief for promoting a process that reduced clicks. How dare I! -

  • The Many Worlds of Managed Print Services

    1105

    There's something that has been pulling at me for the last few years, something I have written about in the past. For a while, there has been a growing chasm between “MpS on copiers” and “MpS on laser printers” within the managed print ecosystem. There shouldn't be this divide.

  • The Difference Makers: People in the Document Imaging Industry Making a Difference - 2015

    ENX Magazines

    "I am honored to be recognized and to be in the company of so many luminaries - a constellation of the brightest,” remarked Greg, “Now, more than ever, the industry must ride turbulent times and as much as I am honored to be mentioned, there are thousands more who evangelize the message. They make a difference."

    "Why we think Greg makes a difference: Love him or hate him, or simply disagree with him, Greg remains one of the most opinionated and polarizing figures in the document…

    "I am honored to be recognized and to be in the company of so many luminaries - a constellation of the brightest,” remarked Greg, “Now, more than ever, the industry must ride turbulent times and as much as I am honored to be mentioned, there are thousands more who evangelize the message. They make a difference."

    "Why we think Greg makes a difference: Love him or hate him, or simply disagree with him, Greg remains one of the most opinionated and polarizing figures in the document imaging industry. He isn’t shy about shaking things up and that’s not such a bad thing at all. He offers a fresh perspective on industry trends and isn’t afraid to call out the old way of doing things as not necessarily the best way. A proponent of MPS for many years, Greg was an ideal choice to take the leadership post of that association. One thing is for sure, you can always count on Greg to either ask those tough questions or say out loud what many in the industry are thinking, or if they’re not, should be thinking about." - ENX Magazine
