The Partnership Following record years for both Bluefish Office Products and Technocopy Solutions in 2015, discussions began earlier this year that it was hoped would allow for a number of the synergies between the two companies to combine and flourish. Bluefish were becoming increasingly aware that print was a costly and time-consuming challenge for many of their customers, with a large proportion of them generating printed output from a mixed selection of devices that had been steadily purchased over time.
The Partnership Following record years for both Bluefish Office Products and Technocopy Solutions in 2015, discussions began earlier this year that it was hoped would allow for a number of the synergies between the two companies to combine and flourish. Bluefish were becoming increasingly aware that print was a costly and time-consuming challenge for many of their customers, with a large proportion of them generating printed output from a mixed selection of devices that had been steadily purchased over time. Many previous buying decisions had been based on a hardware price with very few companies having a clear overall strategy for print as a whole. For most this had resulted in escalating costs and a lack of overall control. It was their search for a solution to this problem that has resulted in the new Bluefish Tech Solutions partnership.
