1 Prospectus Is The Workgroup Copier Business Model at Risk? The A4 vs. A3 Tipping Point Focused Focused Competing Technology Platforms Vie for Valuable Pages Looming Shifts in Purchasing Preferences and Channels Adoption and Attitudes in Small, Medium-Sized, & Large Firms Copier & Printer OEMs Face off at the Convergence Point Headquarters 97 Libbey Industrial Parkway Weymouth, MA Europe Sceptre House, 7-9 Castle Street Luton, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom LU1 3AJ Asia Hiroo Office Building Hiroo Shibuya-ku Tokyo Japan info@gsm.to
2 Introduction A major and dramatic shift may well be underway in traditional A3-size (11 x 17 ) office copier console placements, and their supporting OEM and dealer business models. These familiar office stalwarts are under attack from aggressive printer OEMs and their placements of low-cost, A4-size (Letter or 8.5 x 11 ) monochrome and color printer-based MFPs (multifunctional peripherals). This latest generation of printer-based MFP devices typically offers very low entry prices, full function convenience/walk-up copying, flexible document feeding designs, desktop laser printer reliability traits, and eroding cost-per-page ratings particularly for high-value color pages. InfoTrends focused research and forecasting reveals that pages are migrating from Workgroup and Departmental-level copiers to this growing MFP population. In addition, InfoTrends forecasts show that monochrome Workgroup prints peaked in 2004 as pages are shifting to more graphics-intensive and image-enabled color laser and inkjet devices. Printer-Copier Page Mix 2,000 1,500 Pages, Billions 1,000 Copier Pages Printer Pages Year To date, the industry s traditional copier vendors have responded with few lower-cost A4-sized printer or MFP offerings and have de-emphasized outright hardware purchase channels and policies, preferring to concentrate on strengthening the capabilities of their traditional equipment dealers. While very successful in their familiar IT and retail channels, printer/ MFP vendors have also not assembled an effective or cohesive alternative to the account-level sales reach and local service model perfected by traditional copier equipment channels. Copier makers and their channels are presented with a potential growth opportunity to offer a full suite of A3- and A4-sized hard copy devices to their account base, along with the enabling services, supplies and solutions software tools. It remains to be seen if these businesses will seize this opportunity. For all participants in the hard copy supply chain, it is the Workgroup printer and copier segment that represents the largest slice of the overall prints pie, and the segment that will inevitably stage the most intense and determined competitive battles among manufacturers, products, technologies, dealers, and consumables makers.
3 Evolving User Preferences In companies ranging from small, 20+-employee firms to large enterprises, IT and corporate administrative buyers are questioning and carefully analyzing their copier and printer fleet populations and capacities, as well as their associated service, support, and supplies costs. Businesses are facing unprecedented challenges due to the quickening pace of the marketplace, and they have an array of competing choices for hardware, brands, channels, purchasing options, and technologies. Users recognize that a single and monolithic printer or copier solution does not fit everyone s needs and that the underlying precept today is flexibility. For example: Small businesses need flexible, multi-function devices and the capacity to support growth for less money Medium-sized businesses want a balanced mix of devices to speed up administrative processes and boost productivity Large enterprises have a mandate to optimize operating and support costs for their printing and imaging fleets The Aficio is just one example of Ricoh s ability to provide best-in-class color laser printers that incorporate the latest technology and capabilities. - Ron Potesky, VP of Product Marketing, Ricoh Triggered by heightened printer vendor marketing efforts and an organic growth in the demand for in-house and Workgroup-level color output, businesses are rethinking fundamental office hard copy purchasing decisions, including: Direct pricing and cost comparisons among low-cost printer/mfp offerings and traditional copier-based products Quantifying printer and copier fleet sizes and their asset utilization rates Applying various cost-per-page and cost-of-operation yardsticks to printer and copier buying decisions Questioning the need for A3/11 x 17 paper handling capability based on actual usage rates Optimizing workgroups through the consolidation of printer and copier devices Implementing strategies to manage total print and copy volumes and costs Planning and managing shifts from monochrome to color output capabilities Examining lease vs. purchase alternatives as well as the flexibility of typical contract terms Using network software tools to measure, manage, and optimize printer and copier fleets Making new placements of color hard copy devices to address emerging on-demand marketing collateral print needs and distributed inventory management What is at stake for the industry s key vendors? InfoTrends estimates that over 2.8 million U.S. Workgroup copier placements will be made between 2007 and 2010, accounting for nearly one trillion pages of output. [HP] hires hundreds of new sales consultants [selling] over 200 imaging and printing solutions within its portfolio to build industry-specific offerings for major vertical markets in the public and commercial sectors.

4 The Tipping Point? InfoTrends believes that the hard copy hardware market is rapidly approaching a tipping point as shifting buyer preferences and manufacturer-driven product and channel strategies converge to alter the office equipment landscape as we have known it. We believe that the next several years will present a critical window of opportunity as well as great risks to office equipment vendors and distributors. These businesses must adapt to the mega-shifts in technology, products, and revenue/business models. InfoTrends study will provide companies with the in-depth research and analysis to guide their product development, pricing, marketing, and distribution strategies. 1, , , Mono/Color Page Mix Pages, Billions 1, Color Pages Mono Pages Year Critical Questions Answered as Part of this Study InfoTrends study will answer many of the critical questions that are currently facing your organization in terms of your product development, sales, and marketing initiatives, including: Are office decision-makers questioning or changing their A3 copier fleet deployments in the face of low-cost printerbased MFP options? What types of companies and industries are considering or deploying A4-sized printer/mfp alternatives to copiers? What decision-making factors are coming into play, and how and why will companies make these decisions? o Price/cost o Purchase vs. leasing o Service requirements o Copying and scanning requirements o Page format (A3/A4) requirements o Channels and buyer preferences o Flexible purchasing options vs. bundled solutions o Actual page volumes
5 o Color/monochrome o CPP (cost-per-page) vs. budget plans o IT controls/support o Finishing options o Application factors o Reseller/dealer relationships What will the office copier-printer A3/A4 population mix look like in 2010? How will hardware shipment shifts affect print and copy volumes and utilization factors in key product segments? What products, technologies, channels, and vendors will win, and why? What strategies do vendors need to employ to deal with this major industry shift? Research Objectives This study is designed to promote a better understanding of the shifting demand curves for hard copy devices. It should prove particularly beneficial to the following management teams with equipment vendors of office copiers and printers: Product development/roadmap and planning managers Marketing, pricing, distribution, and sales channel support personnel Sales, marketing, and channel managers and executives The results of this study will provide necessary information to help these vendors: Assess the impact on the U.S. copier industry from the market penetration of low-cost A4-based monochrome and color printer-based MFPs between 2006 and 2010 Assess and measure end-user awareness; plans or receptivity towards changing or migrating copier and printer deployments; and the related product, support, and channel factors that will trigger those decisions: o By company size segmentations o By major industry segmentations o By major document applications Understand the key influencing factors affecting these changing purchase decisions and identify vendors strategies to successfully address: o What is sold o How it is sold o Who sells it o Why it is bought Obtain profiles of key vendor strategies and their marketing messages Receive individually-tailored recommendations based on in-depth research results, analysis, and market position
6 Market Size and Forecast by Product Segment (Profiles) InfoTrends will provide market size analysis and forecasts for office color workgroup devices (copier, printer, MFP) by key product segment and geographic region. These markets account for the majority of equipment placements and pages produced.
