TEASRA is led by Ray Stasieczko, an industry veteran with over 30 years of expertise. A pioneer of Managed IT and Managed Print services, Ray owned and operated dealerships, and served in many senior leadership roles in the office technology industry. Out of his successful career, he founded TEASRA in 2018.
My vision for TEASRA, The Innovation Channel, was born of this thought. "A company becomes obsolete when they focus on delivering the past to the future instead of delivering the future to the present." It’s only through collaboration and a willingness to look where others do not, which eventually separates the innovators from those stuck in the status quo.

In today’s episode I share thoughts regarding MARCO buying KMBS. Before you thinking that is crazy! Watch the whole episode as Konica Minolta has in the past sold an entire country’s distribution to a mega dealer. With Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S. Expanding their relationship with MARCO it seems logical that there is a bigger play!
share thoughts on Canon 1st qtr. and discuss the potential disaster with Canon as HP Inc print business continues declining. Canon maybe way over optimistic in their believes regarding their HP Inc relationship. Canon also should be concerned that their print business exceeds 55% of the conglomerates revenues and over 80% of the conglomerates total operating profit. Canon has not been able to grow its other business units enough to be considered a successful diversification. I don't believe Canon takes serious its threats.
Kyocera must look at their great successes and do more around those successes! The marketplace needs OEMs to shake things up! In the U.S. marketplace dealers of at least one OEM are looking for a more dealer friendly OEM Kyocera and others should be aggressively going after that distribution. The dealers need a strong differentiator and Kyocera is one of the OEMs who can deliver that differentiation.
n this episode I recall my outrage over the Old Retired BTA Lawyer blessing the Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S. dealer contract. WELL Apparently I was correct in being outraged! Let's go back in time to last year and listen to what the retired BTA Lawyer and the host of Friday's with Frank had to say in their two part interview. I believe they both were too focused on blessing an OEM contract instead of focusing on the dealers.

Remember a year ago when i raised hell regarding the old BTA Lawyer giving his blessing on the new dealer contract for Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S. dealers? Well it looks like that was a good warning! Here's a brief preview of an episode next week on the topic.
The End Of The Day With Ray! Correction On Last Preview Short! Regarding Keypoint Intelligence Being Sold Off! Tomorrow’s episode I will share thoughts on Konica Minolta's U.S Managed IT Services Business as Konica Minolta U.S. announces new CEO to head up the IT business. It's been 15 years since Konica Minolta bought All Covered. I am thinking maybe a new leader is overdue! On Friday I will discuss the news regarding Atar Capital (dumping) or selling off Keypoint Intelligence.I am thinking Keypoint is quickly becoming obsolete especially the BLI data base as Artificial intelligence gains momentum. I would add sooner or later OEMs are not going to spend money on vanity trophies. Stay Tuned my friends
Tune in Monday and Tuesday for my two part series regarding Xerox 1st qtr results and my thoughts on how I see the progress going in their reinvention!
Xerox has elected to be one of the landscapers, and as I have screamed since the renovation announcement, Xerox needs to get the hell off Wall Street and continue reinventing the industry’s landscapers!
The disconnect that most MSPs have is the belief that their customers need them to babysit and navigate them through the complexities of technology. Yes, they may have up until about a year ago. Today, technology and its navigation are surpassing even the most forward-thinking expectations.
All organizations on journeys towards relevance will experience this unconscious incompetence. However, all leaders choose to either ensure accountability or ignore it. It is also important that consequences are embedded in accountability.
It was great talking with Chuck and Ravi. Kyocera with its new Nova Series has once again caught the status quo off guard. Kyocera is in a position to bring dealers who are seeking to replace OEMs who are no longer dealer friendly with those who are. Kyocera's robust product portfolio, their strong financial position, along with their innovative inkjet production are definitely going to shake up the marketplace.
In today’s episode I talk with the leader of Altron Document Solutions a massive Xerox distributor headquartered in Johannesburg South Africa. Altron runs a direct and dealer network throughout the African continent. I have been honored to speak at Altron's new year kickoffs for the last three years. This organization and its partners network is amazing. Yolanden and I discuss doing business in Africa and how digital transformation brings diversification to our changing industry.
Artificial Intelligence is a welcomed disruption. The world of software and cumbersome processes are facing the realities of artificial intelligence. Milton and I discuss how ImageQuest is using artificial intelligence and How AI is shorting the 10 Mile Journey!
