Wall Street Comes to Managed Print Services
One of the clear signs that an industry or segment is coming onto its own is when the investment community begins tracking it. For managed print services, a clear sign this is happening takes place this week on March 12th.
“Ed Crowley, the CEO of the Photizo Group, has been invited by Barclays Capital to speak to a group of institutional investors. Barclays Capital hosts topical experts on a regular basis and has invited Mr. Crowley based on his firm’s deep insight and understanding of the managed print services market. Mr. Crowley’s firm, the Photizo Group, is a leading research, consulting, and market intelligence firm for the Managed Print Services market.”
Barclay’s Capital is a major Wall Street player and the fact that managed print services is now on the radar of the Wall Street crowd is significant. Photizo Group sees this as both something Wall Street must watch in terms of the impact on the traditional imaging industry, and the opportunities associated with the emergence of the new managed print services industry.
For the existing industry the question is who will be winners and who will be losers as the market shifts from a hardware production/sales model to a professional services led model. Two very different business models with very different dynamics for success. At the same time, there is an entirely new industry and ecosystem emerging around managed print services representing many opportunities for roll-up strategies, mergers and acquisitions, and growth investment.
Of course, Photizo Group is flattered to be invited to speak and we feel this is just another affirmation of our position as the thought leaders for the managed print services market.
