Global Imaging Systems Acquires United Business Solutions
Thursday 07. April 2011 - Global Imaging Systems, A Xerox Company (NYSE: XRX), has acquired the assets of United Business Solutions of Addison, Ill.
United Business Solutions, an independent distributor of copiers, printers and multifunction systems, offers document management and software solutions to thousands of businesses in the Chicago area.
The acquisition furthers Global Imagings strategy of creating a nationwide network of locally-based providers focused on improving document workflow and office efficiency for small and mid-size businesses.
