Consider the technologies and trends transforming business communications today: the fully networked office, digital and color printer/copiers, distributed and print on demand models of production, a growing reliance on outsourcing and of course, eMail, eCommerce and e-Business. Effectively managing the vast array of office technology that today's organizations depend upon is a daunting challenge. However, for those organizations that are successful research suggests that: "Most enterprises can trim their document output fleet spending by 10 to 30 percent while increasing the level of service to users" - Gartner Research, 2003

On a Global basis the need to consolidate regional suppliers and create a centralized strategy is extremely compelling. There are vast financial gains available to organizations that leverage their collective buying power, rather than purchasing at a local level, along with the opportunity to dramatically reduce the cost of administration by dealing with a single provider.

In addition to the obvious financial benefits, an effective Global Strategy will enable your organization to utilize a best in class product set, reducing the demands of your support infrastructure and enabling mobile employees to use 'familiar' equipment across your entire organization.
