The analyst’s Managed Print Services Market Landscape 2023 study finds that organisations are undertaking a range of initiatives in a bid to drive efficiency and control costs and their priorities vary by industry sector and organisation size (page 30). Also in this issue, Dave Higgott, Technical and R&D Director at PCL Direct, picks the work tools he uses every day and couldn’t do his job without (page 18). This month’s Q&A is with Matt Bond, Sales Director, First Copy, and PITR spent 60 seconds with Roger Stocker, CEO, Intuitive Business Intelligence.
