Welcome to January 2016. If things go according to plan, and even if they don’t, it’s going to be another exciting year for the document imaging industry. Over the next 12 months expect to see new product introductions, product refreshes, acquisitions, people coming and going, predictions by industry analysts come to fruition, predictions by industry analysts not pan out, companies rise, companies fall, and what was once a trend become just another way of conducting business or another ubiquitous technology, service, or solution.
Without a doubt speeds and feeds are still a necessary and important component of the business, but who gets excited about that anymore when there are so many other things to turn us on? We’re going to be talking about some of those exciting trends and compelling people, companies, and organizations in our main feature in this issue. Some of these trends and other industry developments are what you’d expect if you’ve been paying attention to what’s going on, others less so, but all worth monitoring, commenting and ruminating on even if their initial impact may be negligible.
All I know is that it’s an exciting time to be involved in the ever changing document imaging industry.
Wouldn’t you agree?
And be sure to check out our weekly newsletter ENX/The Week in Imaging throughout the month for comments from OEMs and solutions, supplies, and services providers who will be sharing what you can expect from them in 2016.
Thanks for reading.
