Managed Print Services Connect (Dec 13 2010) Blogs

1. Lexington, KY – December 13, 2010 – In just a few years, the managed print services (MPS) industry has sparked a major rethinking of a traditional business model, and the concept has shot around the globe, taking hold in markets from South Africa and Dubai to Singapore and Europe. Bringing all these interests together for the first time at a worldwide level, Photizo Group announces the first ever Global MPS Conference May 2-4 in Orlando, FL. The conference will bring perspective to the total industry, with a wealth of content geared to participants at all levels. Speaker proposals are now being accepted for sessions and panels, and for a limited time, attendees can take advantage of the Super Early Bird discount. This is the biggest discount ever offered for an MPS Conference, shaving almost 40 percent off standard registration for up to $700 in savings.

   Going from unfamiliar acronym to business catalyst, MPS has transformed the strategies of channel partners, vendors, consultants and end user companies. From the beginning, the rapidly unfolding MPS market has been closely monitored and reported on by Photizo Group. Systematically, Photizo has built the industry’s most comprehensive suite of resources to help MPS professionals understand the trends and opportunities. The MPS Conference series addresses the continual need for information, education and personal connections within the fast growing managed print services market.

   High Standards for Content

   Attendees consistently comment on the quality of the content at MPS Conferences. The Global MPS Conference has already set a high standard with confirmation of two outstanding keynote speakers:

   First Keynote: Top Motivational Speaker Talks About Opportunity

   Top business and motivational speaker, Peter Sheahan returns to the MPS Conference series by popular demand. The author of FLiP (Your Thinking) and Making It Happen: Turning Good Ideas into Good Results, shares ideas for greater productivity, business success and inspired strategizing. The National Association of Speakers rated Sheahan one of the top motivational speakers in the world. He teaches businesses how to “flip” their thinking and find opportunity where others cannot. A bestselling author, Sheahan “walks the talk” as a successful entrepreneur and founder of two multi-million dollar companies including ChangeLabs, which specializes in large-scale behavior change projects for clients such as Apple and IBM. 

   Second Keynote: Remarkable MPS Success Story Built on Trust

   Attendees will also hear one of their own as AUXILIO, Inc. President & CEO Joseph J. Flynn presents “The Truth about Trust: Vendor Relations -- a Reality Check.” A pioneer in its market, AUXILIO, Inc. is the only exclusive health care MPS Company in the US that is vendor neutral, meaning the company has cultivated best-of-breed vendor relationships to meet customers’ needs. Attendees at the Global MPS Conference will learn about Flynn’s remarkable rise in the MPS industry in a motivating speech that speaks directly to vendors. They will learn about the important of understanding vendor relations and how to cultivate successful, long-lasting customer relationships.

   “The announcement of these two outstanding professionals as our keynote speakers sets the tone for what will be a remarkable event. Conference presenters and participants can look forward to networking, sharing experiences, and connecting with MPS players from around the world,” said Photizo founder and CEO Ed Crowley. “The Photizo Group estimates the MPS market is now worth more than $25 billion globally and projects a $60 billion industry by 2013, so the timing for this event couldn’t be more appropriate.”
