    Xerox buys WDS, price undisclosed

    NEW YORK  — Xerox Corp. said Wednesday it agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to buy WDS, a 2,000-employee firm based in the U.K. specializing in technical support and consulting for large wireless telecommunication brands. As part of the deal, Xerox will acquire GlobalMine, which is the cloud-based platform run by WDS to analyze and manage technical support interactions on mobile devices. "WDS’s expertise in the telecommunications industry strengthens Xerox’s already broad portfolio of customer care solutions," the company said. WDS Chief Executive Officer David Ffoulkes-Jones will continue with the company after the deal closes. WDS was founded in 1995.

    Digilogix gives away 100 free Xerox printers to small businesses
    Digilogix, one of the largest Xerox concessionaires in South Africa, gave small business owners, in Rosebank, Johannesburg, a pleasant surprise when the company launched a marketing campaign on 4 July, giving away 100 free Xerox printers.

    Digilogix supplies Xerox copiers and printers to SMEs and large companies, as well as a full suite of managed print services.

    “Our team was enthusiastic and we got a great response from the 100 business owners who received the desktop printers, even though some were a little disbelieving at first,” says Digilogix’s Cheryl Andrew. “We have already had calls from some business owners who are so impressed with the performance of the printers that they want to buy additional devices from us.

    “The goal was to make businesses in the Rosebank area aware of Xerox’s solutions. Xerox has a strong focus on how its products can both simplify business processes and enable small businesses to run more cost-effectively,” she adds.

    Each printer came with a Digilogix sticker containing the company’s contact details so customers can contact the company when the time comes to replace the toner, keeping Digilogix top of mind as a supplier of Xerox products.

    “Xerox printers and multifunctional products are geared towards helping all businesses reduce costs, increase security, improve efficiency and be environmentally conscious,” says Warren Rae, national concessionaires channel manager in the Xerox division at Bytes Document Solutions. “The range of compact printers helps create professional-looking documents in-house and delivers high quality in a package designed for premises where space is at a premium.”
