The Office Document Strategy Conference will feature a two-track program focusing on Managed Print Services and the Next Generation Office as well as general sessions covering a broad view of the industry trends shaping the market today. InfoTrends analysts will also be on hand to present results from our most recent research initiative in an exclusive keynote presentation.

Track 1: Managed Print Services

Managed Print Services (MPS) has received a lot of attention lately and there is no doubt that there is a huge opportunity for vendors and channel players to attack this market. However, while the MPS opportunity is certainly a strong one, it is multi-faceted and ill-defined. Numerous aspects of the office equipment and IT channels must be considered; the unique importance of hardware, software, services, and supplies must be recognized; and new skill sets and software will be required for executing on providers’ MPS visions. Ultimately, only vendors and channel players that can understand these facets and map them to internal strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats will realize the true potential of their programs. The Managed Print Services track provides the information and insight necessary to take advantage of this opportunity successfully.

Sessions include:

• Managed Print Services: Overview, Trends & Market Research

• Organizational Alignment - Defining MPS Structure and Compensation for Success

• Strategic Supplies Sourcing

• Defining the Best MPS Approach for Your Business

• Implementing a MPS Program: Customer Success Story

• The Future of Managed Print Services

Track 2: Next Generation Office

Track 2 will feature a bold line-up of cutting-edge topics that are shaping the future of the office document industry. A heavy emphasis on strategy and tactics, as well as real-world case study examples, offers actionable advice and insight for attendees.

Sessions include:

• Business Ink Bigger Than You Think

• Battle for the Pages: The SMB Opportunity

• Battle for the Pages: The Enterprise Opportunity
