Office products take many forms, from pens and paper to electro-mechanical devices for binding, stapling, cutting and shredding, from embedded software and electronic printing systems to visualisation and communication tools. Our success in this area is based on our ability to work with clients to understand the needs of all stakeholders, in order to develop solutions that precisely meet the market need.
One of a number of emerging trends is a move away from a retail business model to one that focuses on the provision of services, a trend that has developed as users look for ways to reduce their cost of ownership. These services might be provided via third parties or directly using the internet. In these instances different business models, marketing and channel strategies need to be considered in parallel to product development.
Examples of our work in the office products sector include the development of a new SOHO printer, industrial coding systems, and a generation of new concepts for document preparation and binding. We offer a full range of services to bring new products to market including scenario planning, technology strategy, and design led innovation.
