Xerox/Fuji Xerox captured 53 percent of MPS revenues worldwide in 2007; and
in North America alone, Xerox accounts for 56 percent of the MPS market.
"This is another positive evaluation Xerox has received from Gartner,
the first being our placement in the "Magic Quadrant for Managed Print
Services Worldwide2" and most recently our position in the Leaders Quadrant
in the "Magic Quadrant for MFPs and Printers3," said Stephen Cronin,
president, Xerox Global Services. "We believe the Gartner reports, along
with the significant cost savings and productivity gains we're achieving for
our customers, speak to our leadership position on both the product side and
in the MPS space."
Ownership for document output is usually fragmented across organizations and
departments. With Xerox Office Services' comprehensive Lean Six Sigma-based
approach, customers are able to determine the actual costs associated with printing,
copying and faxing across all offices. The assessment also tracks how often
and when multi-vendor copiers, printers and other hardware devices are being
used. Armed with this information, Xerox designs an output strategy that not
only meets workplace requirements, but also increases efficiency while reducing
waste.
In addition to maintaining its own equipment, Xerox currently manages more
than a million competitive devices in customers' offices worldwide; which includes
help desk, break-fix, supplies, service level agreements and procurement.
