“As a former dealer principal, I understand what is important to our dealer customers,” says Rashap. “Flawlessly executing on our commitment to provide high-quality equipment at great pricing and with on time delivery, will be my top priority. My experience at DocuSource will allow me to add greater value to our customer relationships, where I can be a resource on a variety of topics… we intend to be much more than a commodity reseller of office equipment.”
