An executive of a major general contractor confided in us to watch for a dramatic shift in technological urgency in the next decade. He reasoned that a number of top executives are about to retire and turn major decisions over to younger executives waiting to make their mark by investing in technological solutions. He went on to say that, with the previous decade’s profit boom and increased stock values, retiring executives do not want to invest millions into solutions that they are uncomfortable with or deem too expensive.
As younger executives assume control of the larger companies, they will bring dramatic new perspectives in technology application.
Positioned correctly, the reprographics industry stands to benefit greatly from this shift. Our goal as an industry has always been to be viewed as a partner to our clients, but the ability to bring solutions to the table that address the new environment our customers are working in will set the new reprographer apart from those who don’t adopt.
