This is getting disturbing - fewer and fewer people, Americans, don't know the difference between, Memorial Day, Veteran's Day, December 7th, VJ Day, VE Day and the Fourth of July - we forget what happened on Monday, August 6, 1945 and again six days later (Google-itize it for God's sake).
How long until 911 and the Towers fall away - out of the American History text books - hell, do we still teach AMERICAN HISTORY???
Vietnam vets returned home to be spat upon.
Today, some of our fallen come home for their final rest, only to have their families assaulted by the likes of Code Pink and crazy, whacked-out, 6 person congregation, churches.
The F is wrong with this picture?
Because of what they, and generations before them did, we get the honor of being beaten down by goofy Purchasing Agents as we try to save the world with MPS.
I'll tell you who - this guy is from outside our industry, heck outside every industry - HE GETS MPS! MPS is 'anchored in the experience we've garnered to date...'
Somebody, and by 'somebody' I mean PHOTIZO, recognizes that MPS is not all that different from any other disruptive event; not specific to the imaging industry.
Outside perspective, it is not all about us - it’s all about me. (J/k)
Congratulations, you see that you can reduce the costs associated with printing by 30-40% - now what?
Nestled out here, are some very good MPS providers.
Behind the device manufacturers' flowery marketing and dense poser-like foliage, the real MPSr's are here.
Here holding true to customer-centric values - evangelizing MPS as a process not a collection of machines.
Your search is challenging.
Should you call your current IT VAR, have purchasing get with your office supplies vendor, or, god forbid, call the copier dealer who roped you in for 60 months?
Do you really want to be negotiated into an agreement?
How about product demo's or assessments worth exactly what you pay for them?
Honestly, should Purchasing, who is probably responsible for the 30-40% waste in the first place, be in charge of an MPS project? Really?
Even though we are at the tailend of the escapade, the WSJ story is a great summary revolving around the letter sent to Hurd on behalf of Ms. Fisher, from her lawyer, the one and only, Gloria Allred.
Some felt the HP bent Mr. Hurd over, but the seriousness of the allegations apparently made the board stand up and notice.
Ms. Fisher claimed Mr. Hurd revealed to her, HP's intention to purchase EDS prior to publicly announcing - an obvious premature release.
Additionally, Mr. Hurd claims he and Ms. Fisher watched a Minnesota/Green Bay football game, first in the hotel bar and later together in his hotel room. Scurrying off at the "two minute warning."
Well, judging from this shot, she likes Texas, and everybody in Texas is a football fan - correct?
To be honest, I find it a bit puzzling. People seem to like this kinda stuff, this banter.
Ken is a great guy - one of the first and best - he is greatly involved over at Photizo working on the dealer channel program and contributes to the positive advancement of Managed Print Services, as an MPSA board member.
As for me, I am still scratching out an existence as an MPS Practice manager and scheming ways to move DOTC from PG-13 to R.
For now, "continue...please, with your mockery..."
