"Despite the fact that the electronic document turnover systems market is flourishing, the volume of hardcopy peripherals devices and paper printouts will continue to increase in the corporate segment in the near future. Basic compliance with internal company regulations and adherence to various governmental, legal, and financial standards will be the principal causes of this." ?
