The objective of this talk is to provide an overview of the key MPS processes and a survey of benchmark technology approaches used by leading OEM and application providers to address customer needs. The talk includes an up-to-the-minute overview of the methods, processes and technologies that are refocusing the print industry towards a service orientation, convergence with ITO and next generation commercial applications such as Cloud Print, Print as a Service and Hardware as a Service.
4. MPS Basics
In mature markets, print product placement and print volumes is
relatively flat. Refresh instead of growth.

5. MPS Basics
To succeed in this market, print providers need to adapt their total
approach to their customers, including their sales methodology.
The old way of selling print is harder
than ever, but…
MPS is a new and better way to sell -
But how?
Page 5 October 2011
6. MPS Basics
How does MPS help print providers maintain and grow market
share?
MPS earns customer trust and loyalty
and lock-in.
MPS generates revenue for value-added
software, services and consultation.
MPS moves more hardware and
consumables mitigating volume declines.

8. MPS Basics
In these tough economic times, the demand for MPS in the
marketplace is fueled by cost reduction and green concerns.

10. Device Manageability
Device manageability is the key to MPS automation.
From remote solve, to
service delivery to billing –
automation is the key to
healthy service margins.
It all starts at the device.
Page 10 October 2011
11. Device Manageability
Open, consistent, standardized, accurate and simple to query MIB
data makes devices manageable and help desk agents happy!
Standard-based implementation of SNMP and existing
public MIBs is the first step…
The next step is for the industry
to establish a MPS MIB
standard, eliminating private
MIBs.
• RFC1213 – MIB-II for TCP/IP
• RFC2790 – Host Resources MIB
• RFC3805 – Printer MIB v2
Page 11 October 2011
12. Device Manageability
There is no such thing as a homogeneous fleet.
Private MIBs don’t create customer lock-
in, simply customer frustration -
MPS exposes this because
providers share the pain with
the customer…
MPS is to the print industry
what open source is to the
software industry
Page 12 October 2011
13. Device Manageability
A few words about MPS compliance.
Unmanageable devices will be
“assessed out”; into the dustbin of
history

• Financial, workflow and business environment
data is collected manually, often as part of the

• Lease costs, power consumption, break-
fix, supplies usage, and page coverage are
variables used in the TCO formulas.
• Tools that provide analysis capabilities may be
stand-alone or integrated with the mapping tool.

37. Integration
MPS vendors are increasingly Xerox MPS-API
focused on ease of SOA API enabling developers to create
applications that integrate with the Xerox
MPS platform including device
integration - management tools.
Here are a few solutions
Xerox has come up with.
Xerox FreeFlow
Xerox EIP Production automation platform for
Extensible Interface Platform Xerox devices. Allows you to integrate
for Xerox devices. Allows you your application seamlessly into the
to customize the device Automation Plarform based on the
interface and system options workflow you have (i.e. photo
specifically for any vertical (i.e. optimization, Press automation with an
healthcare, legal, etc.) MIS, real time job status and
tracking, etc.).
Page 37 October 2011
38. Centralized Print Services
Management of in-plant production print shops and mailrooms is a
growing MPS segment.
• The entire production print process is managed and includes the use of
on-site Xerox labor to provide the expertise and tools needed for efficient
management of the print shop.
• Centralized solutions are often combined with office MPS to route large
print jobs to the in-house print shop.
• Solutions may also include routing of jobs to external print shops.
Page 38 October 2011
39. Enterprise Content Management
ECM solutions are increasingly part of an integrated MPS
engagement, especially at the enterprise level.
• Enterprise Content Management (ECM) includes document
capture, management, storage and collaboration.
• ECM systems deliver content via the web, mobile devices and hard copy.
• Lifecycle management ensures regulatory compliance, security and
document refresh.
• MPS engagements that include ECM live at the intersection between MPS
and BPO; these are most often seen at the enterprise level today.
• Offerings in this space applicable to MPS include:
• Ricoh Alchemy
• EMC Documentum
• Xerox DocuShare
• Cannon imageWare
• HP Enterrpise Services

providers of content, output or delivery.
• Design through delivery of personalized content for nearly any document
type. Examples include:
• Fully customized high-volume statements and bills
• Personalized e-mail and mobile surveys
• Personalized on-demand marketing
Page 43 October 2011
44. ITO & MPS Synergy
Hybrid deals including ITO & MPS capabilities are rapidly expanding
in the marketplace.
• A growing number of customer MPS initiatives are IT led
• Printing is increasingly seen as part of the IT infrastructure
• MPS is ranked among the top 3 priorities among IT departments1
• Print accounts for 6-10% of IT budgets1
• Customers are starting to look for a one-stop-shop provider for ITO and
MPS, preferring a single engagement
• Major MPS providers offer ITO as well (HP+EDS, Xerox+ACS)
• The lines between traditional IT VARS and office equipment dealers are
blurring, we live in the era of “Hybrid Dealers” 1
• There is growing convergence between IT management software and MPS
software
