By Al Leary, senior vice president, MPS Acceleration, Xerox

According to some business leaders at a Xerox “Focus Forward” event this week in Minneapolis, MPS (better known as Managed Print Services), could easily stand for “More Productivity Success.”

During a break-out sessions, Boyd stressed that for long-term success, businesses need to emphasize boosting revenue ahead of cutting back.  That’s the productivity plan behind Xerox MPS, helping put companies in the driver’s seat of their own futures.
