In its biggest office product launch in two years, Xerox Corporation today hurdled the competition with 24 new digital products, software and services that target a $60 billion market opportunity and serve businesses small to large. The offerings solidify Xerox's office line as the broadest and most comprehensive in the industry, serving every segment of the business market.
"As of today, with the breadth of its offerings across so many segments, Xerox has never been better positioned to serve customers and capture growth in the office IT market," said IDC's Angèle Boyd, group vice president, Imaging/Output & SMB Practices.
With the addition of these products, 95 percent of Xerox's office product line has been completely refreshed over the past 24 months.
Xerox unveiled its latest suite of office multifunction systems, printers, digital copiers and software, along with IT services designed to track, analyze and optimize how customers manage fleets of office devices, during a live "IT XChange" webcast from the C3 Expo technology trade show in New York City.
Xerox also announced a capability that allows office customers to manage Xerox network devices alongside Hewlett-Packard products through peripheral management software. The new plug-ins for HP Web Jetadmin software - based on open standards and developed in conjunction with HP - enable customers to manage Xerox printers with a mixed set of office equipment brands and accessories.
"With a broad range of plug-ins for networked peripheral management software tools, including IBM's Tivoli software, Computer Associates' Unicenter and now HP's Web Jetadmin software, Xerox provides IT administrators with a breadth of information about the status of these powerful document devices," said Brian Bissett, editor and publisher of The MFP Report. "This enables IT personnel to ensure each device maintains optimal performance and is critical to lowering often overlooked IT infrastructure costs."
