Xerox Named a Leader in IDC MarketScape on MFP; Wins BLI's Document Imaging Solutions Line of the Year

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – 08 April 2015 –  Xerox office technology, software and apps continue to achieve industry recognition – most recently from IDC and Buyers Laboratory LLC (BLI) – while customers realize the benefits of Managed Print Services (MPS) facilitated by these offerings.  

For the third consecutive year, Xerox was positioned as a leader in the IDC MarketScape: U.S. Smart Multifunction Peripheral 2014-2015 Vendor Assessment1, while BLI selected Xerox as the Document Imaging Solutions Line of the Year winner for the second year in a row.

According to the IDC MarketScape, Xerox’s ConnectKey® technology is the core of its smart MFP strategy and helped secure the company’s leadership standing. ConnectKey upgrades are now available on a full suite of secure, cloud-ready MFPs and provide mobile and office workers more ways to be productive, from remote printing to creating apps that simplify the way they work.   

A key element of the IDC MarketScape report noted that “Xerox's smart MFPs play a foundational role in the company's Next Generation MPS strategy to specifically address security, mobility and workflow automation.”

“The synergy between our technology and our Next Generation MPS offerings allows organizations to easily and quickly capture productivity gains as well as cost savings that come with controlling print and managing content,” said Jim Rise, senior vice president, Office and Solutions Business Unit, Xerox.
