Introduction

The rapid adoption of e-commerce, ERP systems, and other electronic document delivery programs is causing a sea change in the requirements and competitive playing field for document technology and services. Literally billions of pages are up for grabs as large and medium-sized enterprises re-configure their operations to squeeze out costs, improve cash flow, and improve productivity.

While print is being eliminated for some applications, it is being distributed in other applications. In still other applications, documents are being built to order based on real-time data. Across the enterprise, documents are being generated out of new applications that do not have the same formatting and management controls as traditional systems. At the same time, users are outsourcing production to professional services firms while demanding wider output choices that offer tighter integration with their core systems.

Vendors of document software, equipment, and services face a variety of issues that have immediate and long-term effects on their businesses.

• Expanding beyond traditional products and applications to new growth markets
• Selling customers on the new vision for creation, management, and presentation of documents
• Determining the right mix of products and services
• Identifying key technology and service partners
• Growing revenue in a period of declining equipment prices and shifting volumes
