InfoTrends’ John Shane to Present at 2nd Annual Managed Print Summit

(Weymouth, MA) June 02, 2010 . . . InfoTrends is pleased to announce that John Shane, Director of InfoTrends’ Communication Supplies Service, will be participating as a speaker at the 2nd annual Managed Print Summit. The event will be held July 13, 2010 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. It will precede this year’s World Expo event, which will take place July 14-15 at the same location.

Shane will deliver a session entitled MPS Impact on the Supplies Market. "MPS (managed print services) is expected to control as much as 25 - 30% of the supplies market by 2013, and its impact on this market will certainly be disruptive. With such large numbers at stake, it’s vital for vendors in the supplies market to understand what MPS means to them,” commented Shane.

Shane is currently conducting an in-depth study on this topic which aims to provide insight on how those in the supplies industry can take advantage of MPS-related trends and avoid or mitigate negative impacts. Some of the effects of MPS include:

• Less print in the workflow
• More duplexing of pages
• Lower cost per page through the:
  - Migration to more cost-effective devices
  - Cost pressure on supplies
  - Incentives to use third-party or aftermarket supplies
• Shifting opportunities for supplies channel participation

Clearly, the effects of MPS cannot be ignored. It is essential that supplies industry professionals understand how MPS will influence the market so they can develop strategies that are in-line with the changes are sure to result.
