    IKON TO MARKET AND SERVICE HP COPIERS
    HP Unveils Solutions to Transform Copier Market, Optimize Imaging and Printing for Businesses

    HP on Tuesday unveiled an extensive portfolio of products, services and capabilities to help companies improve productivity and reduce costs by as much as 30 percent in their imaging and printing environments. The centerpiece of the new products is a copier-based line of high-volume multi-function printers, the first of their kind for HP as it enters the $24 billion copier market.

    The company also announced document workflow solutions for automating forms processing and managing documents, and it introduced several customers, including Best Buy, National Semiconductor and Subway, who are working with HP to transform their imaging and printing operations.

    “As more content and business processes go digital, there is a tremendous opportunity for companies to harness the power of the network to improve productivity and reduce the operating costs across their imaging and printing environments,” said Vyomesh Joshi, executive vice president, Imaging and Printing Group, HP. “HP’s printing heritage and network management expertise puts us in a unique position to help companies take advantage of these new opportunities.”

    According to Gartner analyst Peter Grant, “Poorly managed printer, copier and fax fleets represent one of the biggest opportunities for cost cutting in the enterprise. By actively managing the environment, companies can not only save up to 30 percent on output related spending, they can increase employee productivity.”

    HP has assembled a comprehensive sales strategy that leverages the reach of direct and indirect channels. The new high-volume multi-function products will be available globally through HP Services with customizable managed services, consulting and integration, and support.

    In addition, HP has signed an agreement with IKON Office Solutions, a leading player in the copier and document management market. The relationship will provide HP broad U.S. distribution and services expertise through IKON’s 12,000 sales and service professionals. HP also announced seven regional partners to distribute the high-volume multi-function products.  Transforming the antiquated copier market »
