New print solution shifts focus “from optimising printer fleets to optimising business processes”.
Deccan Chronicle reported on Xerox’s launch of its Next Generation MPS offering for the Indian market, with the service “designed to build momentum and deliver new value” to “customers of all sizes” who can be left to “focus on their core business.
According to Xerox, the service is able to make cost savings of up to 30 percent due to increased efficiencies; with the addition of Xerox’s Secure Print Manager Suite “cost-effectively” integrating print security, control and reporting capabilities “without disrupting existing IT infrastructure”.
Xerox Document Analytics Services are also included and can “explain how, where and why documents are used” based on “data from devices and print jobs, audits of filed and unfiled paper and client interviews that uncover printing ‘behaviours’”; with the findings then used by Xerox and its partners to help “digitise content and capture information so organisations don’t replace a paper landfill with a digital landfill”.
Finally, Xerox’s Workflow Assessment Services are able to show how documents flow within an organisation, providing insights so organisations can create more efficient processes and turn “process into productivity” as well as “save money and improve customer relationships”.
Vishal Awal, Executive Director, Services at Xerox South Asia, said: “As an enterprise’s knowledge capital grows – in both paper and electronic form – the challenge of unlocking it increases exponentially. Without proper management it becomes lost; since it lives in so many places and formats. Our three-stage strategy – assess and optimise, secure and integrate, and automate and simplify – continues to evolve with these new offerings. The enhancements help clients manage their information demands more effectively, especially in the area of security and automating document workflows.”
He added that according to an E&Y survey, the MPS Indian market in India is expected to grow “at 30 percent CAGR to $250 million (€184 million) by 2015”, noting that “this obviously presents a great opportunity for Xerox Corp.
“The enterprise and SME landscapes are changing and more and more customers are shifting from a Cap-Ex driven captive print infrastructure to an Op-Ex led Managed Print Services model. While we have seen good traction of MPS in verticals like BFSI and Telecom, other verticals [such as] Consumer Goods, Retail, Manufacturing, Healthcare and Utilities are also showing great promise towards MPS adoption”.
