Kosters has been an independent consultant since 2002. He has also been in the imaging and printing industry for over 20 years, including positions with Océ research, sales, training and business services.
Kosters founded DOCplus Consultancy in 2004, helping clients improve their document infrastructure and processes. DOCplus services include strategy development, purchasing support and ongoing service level management of MDS/MPS engagements in government, education, healthcare, finance and other markets.
MPSA President Jim Fitzpatrick said: “On behalf of the MPSA, we are excited to have Johan Kosters participate in a leadership role as a member of the board of directors. It was a tough race among 13 very qualified candidates representing six countries. It demonstrates the international nature of the MPS industry and of MPSA. In fact, over 40 percent of our membership is international.”
Kosters added: “Managed Print Services will challenge the imaging and printing playing field in the upcoming years. MPS engagements will need to serve dynamic end-user needs for a high performing infrastructure to align their business processes and customer communication.
“Providers must concentrate on improving customer business processes and creating value through innovative infrastructure and services. As an MPSA board member, I will work to balance the interests of both end users and providers for healthy development of the MPS business.”
MPSA members and current board members took part in the vote.
