Thoughts on the industry from Staff Product Manager at Qualcomm

Print might be down, but it is certainly not dead. There are still plenty of good stories to tell about it, too—from how some companies evolved during the pandemic to become an even stronger presence to case studies that detail the impact a particular product had on an organization’s health and bottom line. This is precisely why I was excited to sit down with Qualcomm’s Philip Mazzilli, who is also a member of the Mopria Alliance, to discuss several aspects of the print industry.

Company leader details recent acquisition, recent partnership, and things beyond print

One of Keypoint Intelligence’s goals for 2022 was to strengthen our portfolio. Yeah, I know, it sounds super generic because that could easily be a goal of companies in any industry around the world, but the reality is that we are evolving in concert with the voice of the customer.

Yet another excellent example of blending print and managed IT services to great success

While the mega dealers have plenty of great tales to tell, the stories from smaller dealers have always felt more relatable to me. The cold hard truth is that dealers with annual revenue of up to $20 million obviously have less capital and fewer resources than the megas to turn ideas into reality. For these outfits, there’s just more at stake with each decision, and the challenges are oftentimes more difficult to overcome, but their successes wind up resonating—and educating—more.

Revealing the final eight large-scale technology providers on the list

It’s a products and services world, and the mega dealers are acing the test. Sure, they have the human resources and the capital to make things happen on a grand scale—or to make new revenue streams happen. Because whether it was through more print (production and wide format, not just office) or beyond print (managed IT and smart office, to name two areas), the bottom line is that they are not afraid to take risks.

Which large-scale technology providers are on the list?

The mega dealers are “mega” because they are a well-diversified bunch. Sure, success is evident simply by studying financials for a few minutes, yet each company has its own story on how they surpassed $100M in annual revenue—and then some. Even if the mega dealers started life as traditional copier dealers, they have all embraced technology beyond print with solutions such as security cameras and EV charging stations. Many are striving for that holy grail-like 50/50 split between print and managed IT, with a strong desire for the latter to exceed the former shortly after achieving that even goal.
