Wednesday 28. May 2008 - Xerox specialists and industry experts offer digital printing advice to expand print shop page volume and profits
Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) today unveiled eight new business development services to help print providers maximize their digital equipment investments.
Xerox developed the eight New Business of Printing Business Development Services in response to customer feedback for “nuts and bolts” support to address their business challenges. The additions focus on training and professional services for digital business, workflow and application development. A team of Xerox specialists and industry experts work directly with print providers – often on-site – to help them generate increased page volume and revenue.
“Customers get services that are customized to address specific business needs,” said independent industry analyst Chris Jordan, partner, Jordan & Jordan. “These eight services provide both experienced print shops and those just getting started with the right tools, knowledge and support they need to capture growth opportunities and pursue long-term success.”
