My session will provide insight on the shifts occurring in the Imaging Market and how to effectively respond to these changes," said Randall Dazo, Director, Solutions & Services, InfoTrends. Look to the Cloud: The Print and Imaging Silver Lining "The Cloud is one of the most exciting, and potentially transformative, new areas of hardcopy software and services development.
