Computing SA: One size does not fill all

Says Philip Perkins, COO of Itec SA, "Just a few years back, buying a printer was one of the more straightforward decisions for an office manager. It was a simple case of whether there was enough demand to justify the expenditure. But those days have long gone .

Where five years ago a company fitted its printing requirements around the limitations of its devices, the latest printing hardware and software are able – if used properly – to fit the company’s unique needs. This has been enabled by the introduction of affordable multi-functional peripherals (MFPs). Companies are now buying fewer, more powerful machines that offer a wealth of functionality."
