UXBRIDGE, UK, May 19, 2008  -- On May 28 and 29, 2008 the first Xerox European Leadership Summit: Creating Sustainable Value will gather more than 100 leaders of European businesses to tackle the challenge of driving financial performance whilst responding to the sustainability agenda. Industry luminaries will share best practices and lead panel discussions to explore the creation of sustainable business strategies that foster innovation, growth and profitability.

The European Leadership Summit was convened in response to the increasing and sometimes polarising pressures businesses face from shareholders, employees, partners and customers.

Contain Costs with Managed Printing

One of of the most common, untracked costs associated with most organizations is the cost of printing and reproducing documents.

image In most offices, employees have the ability to print any quantity of documents they choose. When the printer or multi-function system runs out of toner or paper, they simply order more.

Problems as simple as a paper jam to as complex as replacement of roller, gears or other internal parts. continue reading...
