Two Worlds Collide.

“Printer and copier environments are two simple systems, often overlooked and unmanaged, that are converging in the office to produce complex problems and wreak havoc on organizational efficiency.”

A printer is a simple beige box that comes to life when we hit the print button. A copier is a simple office machine that spews forth multiple copies at the touch of a green button. Printer and copier environments are two simple systems, often overlooked and unmanaged, that are converging in the office to produce complex problems and wreak havoc on organizational efficiency.

Printing and copying represent a potential source and destination for business-critical information. It is where information gets produced. Printers are digital, affordable and reliable, yet have largely been left unmanaged as they spread rapidly across the network. While carefully managed,
most copiers are largely unreliable and antiquated in today's digital age.

Companies will invest vast resources to proactively design how to move information across their network, yet merely react to printing and imaging systems tasked with getting that information on and off that same network. This has created an environment that is fundamentally out of control. And things are only getting worse. Printing systems, copying systems and the information explosion have all collided dramatically to create a “perfect storm” of document disorder that has made the sharing of information slow and cumbersome.

Businesses need simple and productive ways to manage business information. Users need to be able to work seamlessly with both digital and paper documents. Companies need to control costs and free up resources to focus on their core competencies.

Gartner Group has confirmed the output chaos that exists in the office environment. “The explosion of digital documents and the impact on output fleets will be significant. Getting out in front of the fleet management problem by beginning to aggressively manage all of the output fleets in the enterprise is a key first step.” (October 2000)
