What else can go wrong?

With these bozos in charge, what disaster is going to happen next? I would not be surprised if they accidentally post customer list and pricing information! For that matter, employees who are fed up could also start sharing this info with the... — read more

HCL found about the cat getting out!

You no longer have access to the Group Xerox-OTC, haha too late HCL! I hope every Core was able to print and/or save the PPT and share it with everyone 🤣

Where did we get it wrong?

And I ask this question aside from the fact that the business is declining and what Xerox has to offer is no longer needed…. Many other companies in the business have the same challenges and yet they manage to survive and not make a mess of things... — read more

An unpopular opinion

Not a popular opinion, but maybe, just maybe, this is the best thing that has happened to Xerox. Clearly the old and trusted management didn't have a clear idea how to move the company forward, let alone taking it into the digital age, except for... — read more

Earnings coming this week, more cost cutting?

I have not heard anything about Q1 earnings. Are they likely bad? What's the next round of cost cuttings? I wonder if they will finish this whole GIS/XBS thing before finding the next lowest hanging piece of fruit to trim out.

Outsourcing was supposed to be about quality

Military Customers

Does anyone know how these layoffs, down sizing, rebadging is effecting the military customers? I remember the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines were great customers replacing equipment every two years or so. Big money for Xerox.

How much is Xerox saving with the HCL deal?

Any chances that Xerox gets acquired?

Looks to me that they deliberately transformed into a holding so they could sell the company, bit by bit. Is there an interested potential buyer in the world that could by the whole company. Is a scenario like this even a posibility?
