“To have someone of Jan de Kesel’s stature present at the inaugural MPS European Conference sets a very high standard for the quality of the programme,” said Ed Crowley, CEO and Senior Partner of the Photizo Group, which is hosting the MPS 2009 European Conference. In his keynote, Mr. de Kesel will present a roadmap for dealers to build their own MPS offering as an alternative to relying on OEM packages. “The Platinum Sponsor support of FMAudit/DocuAudit validates the importance that MPS leaders place on the MPS Conference as an educational forum. We are thrilled to have Jan de Kesel and FMAudit participating at such visible and valuable levels.”

Conference content features case studies, panels, exhibitions and interactive sessions that highlight successful approaches and practical ideas from actual MPS engagements. MPS decision makers, vendors and channel partners will benefit from an agenda rich with relevant topics. 21 different sessions address a broad spectrum of topics with speakers from across Europe providing expertise and insights. Along with the keynote presenters, speakers include MPS experts from IT Newfield, EKM4, Leads City Council, Nationwide Insurance, PulsarTec, Canon, LRS Europe, Relevance Biz and SolutionsWorx.  In addition to Platinum Sponsors FMAudit and HP, MPS Conference sponsors and exhibitors include DocuFacts, LRS, Netaphor, PerformIT, PrintFleet, and BERTL Research.

(the first independent MPS company) executive, will lead the dealer track. Justin West (Nationwide Insurance) and Randy Elliott (former IT manager responsible for the Dow Chemical rollout) will drive the end user sessions.
