MFP Buying Criteria

Gartner Dataquest recently published “Make the Best Choice of Document MFP Vendor” (February 2004), a document that outlines the need for buyers to redefine their buying criteria when they are choosing a vendor to meet their office products needs. A key buying criteria is to ask the vendor , “do you promote user productivity”. According to this publication, “MFPs should do more than save money by replacing printers, copiers and fax machines. They should help people do their jobs more easily, faster or at a higher standard than they can today. This means designing the MFP so it can be integrated into the customers work processes, and providing services that make it easy to do so.

The bizhub 180 has been designed to perform as an outstanding printer, exceptional Segment 1 digital copier and a superb scanner and fax device.

To assist you in your Segment 1 qualifying efforts, the charts below indicate the top five acquisition criteria for Segment 1. This list in combination with the information provided in the Digital Technologies section will help you address the wants and needs of your Segment 1 customers. This information was published by Gartner Dataquest in December 2000 and is based on a user survey conducted in the fall of 2000.

This remains the most recent end user survey conducted by Gartner Dataquest.
