Effissimo Capital investment in Ricoh moves into activist status, Expect big changes. I also share how I see Marco completely reinventing the infrastructure of national account sales and services. The OEMs will not ignore anything they believe can cut massive cost and streamline processes. The question is, how will the other OEMs work with MARCO's new infrastructure? It's my thinking the other OEMs should learn from what I believe Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S. did wrong.
Brother is doing great in industrial print when you compare them to both Ricoh and Konica Minolta. It is clear year after year those two should seriously consider exiting the industrial print space as either of them seem to have a growth strategy other than hope! I also share a picture highlighting the potential power of The Workhorse! I am thinking that horse could kick a lot of Konica Minolta A3 Machines out of office windows!
In today's episode I strongly question what I see as endorsements from industry consultants and media regarding Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S. The dealers deserve more advocacy from the industry consultants and anyone who claims they stand with dealers. As share content from some of these industry leaders ask yourself do they really care what's going on or are they just so comfortable pandering it doesn’t matter to them what's going on? I am also concerned that the BTA is quickly losing its position as an advocacy for dealers. I am fearfully that the complacency that comes with comfort is crippling the associations power.
