Why
would my company need to utilize CopierExpert's services?
|

The process
for buying and managing copier and printer equipment can be complicated,
stressful and expensive. In fact, Gartner Group reported recently
that copier/printer costs average 1% to 3% of gross revenue. There
are only two items for which companies spend a larger portion
of gross revenue: facilities and personnel. CopierExpert provides
a straightforward approach that has been proven to save time and
money.
