Actionable Intelligence to Present on 3D and Hardcopy Opportunities at OPI Forum

FRANKLIN, Mass. - Nov. 17, 2015 - PRLog -- Actionable Intelligence will present two sessions at the upcoming OPI European Forum 2015 event, which takes place in London from December 7 to December 9. AI provides market research and consulting services to the digital hardcopy and 3D printing industries, which puts it in a unique position to provide insights on both markets.

AI President Charles Brewer will join the firm’s Senior Market Analyst Michael Nadeau to present the session, "Exploring 3D Printing and Evaluating the Opportunity for the Business Supplies Sector." Mr. Brewer and Mr. Nadeau will show how the 3D market is growing and provide an overview of key applications and vertical markets. They will then explain how 3D printing could be a game changer for designers, manufacturers, and entrepreneurs and demonstrate how that translates into opportunity for office supplies manufacturers and resellers. This session is schedule for Tuesday, December 8 at 11:55 am.

“Our years of experience covering hardcopy markets give us a unique perspective from which to evaluate the prospects 3D offers those in the traditional office channels,” says Mr. Brewer. “Mike and I are honored to have been invited to participate in the OPI event," Mr. Nadeau adds, “AI foresaw the opportunities in 3D for hardcopy OEMs and resellers several years ago. That has prepared us to deliver key insight to digital hardcopy firms looking to enter the 3D printing market."

On the hardcopy side, Mr. Brewer will moderate two roundtable discussions entitled  "MPS--Still Evolving or Now Mature?". During these interactive sessions, which start on Tuesday, December 8 at 2:20 pm, participants will explore what’s needed in today’s MPS market to offer a strong portfolio that meets the diverse needs of SMB customers. “It is critical for MPS to gain traction in the SMB market if the channel is to continue to grow and succeed in this space," says Mr. Brewer. “For SMB clients, there simply is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution.” He explains that while some may only need basic print service, others will demand broader MPS support. “We’ll discuss what’s available for MPS providers and how they can continue to prosper.”
