While nothing is written in stone just yet, Dell will likely try its hand at the printing and imaging services market, a company executive said earlier this week.
"We're already doing a lot of managed seats, and offering [managed print services] would be a natural evolution," said Donald Heath, senior product manager in Dell's printing and imaging division."
Dell has already begun laying the framework by releasing enterprise printer hardware, and more recently, the OEM stuck its hand into the managed-services arena for large enterprises when it acquired Perot Systems for about $3.9 billion in cash. Perot Systems has since been integrated into a new unit called Dell Services.
Should Dell go through with its plan, the company will go up against Xerox and Hewlett-Packard, the current top dogs in the managed-print services market. Even so, there aren't a lot of players in what's considered a lucrative arena.

Our corporate office has 4,000 employees, and all of our printers are HP. Some of them are out of this world in terms of what it can do - printing, binding, stapling - everything. So Dell would have a lot of catching up to do with HP.
