Description

This IDC study analyzes a selected portion of its Corporate Print and Document Infrastructure survey. This study focuses on the potential for page volume generated on hardcopy devices in the corporate marketplace. It is part of a series of several short research pieces that discuss user responses to a variety of hardcopy issues. Other topics covered in this survey but analyzed in separate IDC research documents include: hardcopy procurement process, color, MFPs, channel preferences, and document solutions/services.

"The paperless office remains a myth. Page volume continues to grow in U.S. companies, but changes in the market will dictate where the most lucrative opportunities lie in the future. This survey indicates that workgroup and color device markets offer the strongest potential for ongoing page volume growth," says Keith Kmetz, program director of IDC's Hardcopy Peripherals Solutions and Services program.
