Lyra Research (www.lyra.com), the digital imaging authority, announces that Lyra Senior Analyst Cortney Kasuba will present The Evolution of MPS: A Look Ahead, at the 2009 Managed Print Summit (http://www.1105events.com/recharger/WorldExpo2009/extras/managed_print_summit.php), a frontrunner event to Recharger Magazine'ss World Expo (http://www.1105events.com/recharger/WorldExpo2009/). The inaugural Managed Print Summit will take place on August 18 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The summit shines the spotlight on managed print services (MPS) for aftermarket companies.
During her discussion, Kasuba will compare the MPS program offerings of select OEMs, supplies vendors, and channel players, and provide analysis on program strengths and weaknesses. She
will also examine MPS implementations in a few select vertical markets. Utilizing real-world installed-base and print-volume data from Lyra'ss Office Print Monitor (OPM) information
service, Kasuba will deliver examples of which verticals are best suited for MPS programs and insight into how MPS vendors can enhance their customer programs to create bottom-line
results.
We value the opportunity to be part of the Recharger'ss first Managed Print Summit and to share Lyra'ss analysis of both the more traditional MPS providers and some of the new players,
said Kasuba. We also appreciate the chance to provide the Summit'ss aftermarket audience with an understanding of the nuances of vertical markets and 'sreal-world's printing trends to
help them create high-impact MPS programs.
