Ed Crowley and the gang over at The Photizo Group has relaunched their website, Managed Print Services Resource Center, to include a cleaner look and easier navigation. I had a chance to catch up with Ed and Mike in an interview and these guys seem to have their finger on the pulse of Managed Print Services (MPS).
For all of you that don’t know much about this topic, MPS is an exploding new services vector to outsource the management of output fleets: traditionally printers, network attached copiers (MFD’s), faxes, scanners, and any accompanying software solutions.
The Photizo Group is launching their comprehensive study of the MPS space, much akin to what you might find Gartner doing in general. The Photizo Group positions themselves as consultants with an intimate knowledge of the document output industry (see image below).

For those in the business of servicing output fleets, this is a promising source of valuable information. For those that have fleets to manage, this is resource you will want to strongly consider for education on how to grade potential partners.
Stay Tuned:
Coming soon, a series on managed print services and the 3 T’s: the Theory, the Tools, and the Targets.
