Imagine this: you're in the middle of a critical business meeting, needing to print a last-minute report. You hit "print" and wait anxiously, only to encounter a paper jam, or worse, the printer has decided today is the day it needs maintenance. Situations like this are all too common and highlight the need for smarter, more efficient printing solutions. This is where artificial intelligence (AI) steps in, revolutionizing the way printers operate and are managed.

General business spending on AI continues to grow. In a recent survey by CNBC, nearly 44% of companies described AI as the single largest technology expenditure. As more industries, such as the printing industry, embrace AI, it is crucial for businesses to stay updated on how AI can optimize their processes.

Dear Customers,

You have to be relevant to stay in business, and that means staying on top of the latest technology in your industry.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas, we have always believed in the power of technology. 37 years ago, when I started STPT, we partnered with Xerox partly because of their dedication to innovative technology. Xerox is a company that has made it their mission to make work processes more accessible and streamlined for companies of all sizes. 

We were a small business looking to get involved with cutting-edge technology, so a Xerox partnership was the smartest option for us.

Today, Xerox is still the smartest option for us. Just consider their motto: Xerox makes “work, work.” 

Managing and securing documents has never been more important in the workplace. 

In a work environment that has shifted increasingly remote and technology that has gone progressively digital, having a document management system for your company’s files is more crucial than ever. 

Xerox’s DocuShare platform could be your answer if you’re looking for a digital, cloud-based platform to manage, store and share your documents with your workgroup. 

However, this platform does cost money, which means you need to know what you’re getting into before purchasing.
