HP's Real Objective

As you've read in this magazine (last month, in fact), many in-plants are already offering print management programs. It's a great way to show the in-plant's value by using the expertise of managers to save the organization money. Still, as many of you have learned, people don't like it when you threaten to take their desktop printers away. So HP's push into managed print might actually help in-plants make their case; if a respected office products company like HP says this is a good idea, there must be some merit to it.
