HP Named a Leader in IDC MarketScape Contractual Print and Document Services Vendor Assessment

December 18, 2018

Palo Alto, December 18, 2018 — Today, HP Inc. announced the company has been named a leader in the IDC MarketScape: Contractual Print and Document Services Hardcopy 2018 Vendor Assessment (#US44387318, Dec. 18, 2018). This IDC study assesses the market for contractual print and document solutions and services among select hardcopy vendors through the IDC MarketScape model.

“Growing services and solutions is central to our focus in 2019 – tapping the investments made across our channel, infrastructure and innovation,” said Tuan Tran, General Manager and Global Head of Office Printing Solutions for HP. “Our holistic portfolio – with the world’s most secure printers and innovation straight from HP Labs – offers some of the most robust engagement opportunities for partners and customers alike. We are pleased the IDC MarketScape recognized HP as a Leader in contractual and look forward to keeping our momentum going.”

Highlights from the report include:

•      “With its strong IT heritage and a more seamless integration between PCs and print, HP Inc. is in a strong position to address key market trends around outsourced print and document services.”

•      “HP Inc. not only builds a vast array of security features and capabilities into its printing hardware, but it also offers what is arguably the industry's broadest range of security solutions and standalone services, many of which are now offered as standard components within its Managed Print Services (MPS) arsenal.”

The IDC MarketScape recognition builds on HP’s contractual office printing momentum and strategy to earn incremental market share in both the A3 and A4 multifunction printer categories. Last week, the company announced a new expansion of account opportunities for U.S. print premier channel partners in which thousands of MPS Speciality accounts that were previously directly engaged by HP will begin to be made available as premier channel opportunities.
