Xerox and Global: Year One

From Buyer's Lab

June 23, 2008 - In the year since Xerox acquired Global Imaging Systems, along with access to its 200,000 small to medium-size business (SMB) customers, the transition has gone well from Xerox’s vantage point thus far. In a recent conference call, Xerox reported that today more than 50 percent of the products moving through Global are Xerox. Xerox would not give specifics in regard to the install rate of Xerox products through Global. Global also contributed to a 10 percent increase in equipment sales for Xerox in 2007.

Commenting on how the acquisition has already altered Xerox’s selling style, Paul Schulman, Global’s vice president of operations said that he enjoyed selling against Xerox in the past. “Xerox’s go-to-market style did not allow a sales rep to be flexible enough, with enough range, or enough speed to beat an independent. Xerox is learning how to let a sales rep make a decision instantly, and sales reps are now getting more of the tools they need to be more nimble and quick.”
