OFFICE PRODUCTS RESELLERS Email Marketing & Execution

This tells us that business models need digital significance and savvy to survive and grow. The few weeks I recently spent in China illustrated the digital transformation that has taken place and the subsequent new way of interacting, with the emergence of B to B and B to C. In China, mobile pay has become a norm; people carry less cash because nearly all payments can be processed digitally by using Wechat Pay or Ali Pay.

ALMATY, KAZAKHSTAN May 30 - June 1, 2017

I trust many of you, as business owners, are busy searching for new routes of new growth. Because we live in today's internet economy, businesses need accelerated scales to grow. Each "click" is a key parameter for a business' success. This became especially clear while recently riding the subway in Beijing, I felt appalled by my fellow riders’ preoccupation with their mobile devices, either reading news, watching videos, shopping for products, checking emails—the list goes on. The mobile phone has become one of today's most used devices; indeed, in most cases, an inseparable companion.

BOGOTÁ, COLOMBIA November 14-16, 2017

And this phenomenon is surely not unique to China. In nearly every corner of the developed world one sees people read by phone, shop by phone, pay by phone, and even perform a plethora of work tasks by phone. The mobile phone has become a wonder device of multi-functions. However, as was recently demonstrated by global ransomware attacks, when all things are connected, so too do we face the safety danger of interdependence. The high profile WannaCry ransomware terror has not only alarmed us, but magnified that cybersecurity should be at the top of every business agenda. As well stated here, "Bricks and mortar have been replaced by code, and in this new assetlight marketplace, data reigns supreme. But once it reaches sinister hands, data becomes a company's biggest threat.” We must all bear this in mind. We hope that the articles assembled this month will provide you with useful information and arm you with knowledge to help you protect your businesses against the growing cyber threats. Happy reading!

How to Analyze People Imagine if you had the magical ability to read people’s minds. You would always know what they were really thinking, and how they formed their opinions. You would be able to tell if they were lying. You would know what decisions they were going to make even before they did. Wouldn’t it be great if you could always know just the right thing to say to influence them effectively? Well, it turns out that this isn’t a magical superpower at all - it is simply the ability to analyze people.

be prepared for the "If This, Then That" (ITTT) scenarios that are inevitable with email marketing. In the above example, list segmentation according to persona and lifecycle stage means the same email is only sent to 130 contacts. Let's focus on a blast to Persona # 1 in the "awareness" stage. 1. You achieve a 30% open and 20% click rate meaning 70% of the recipients did nothing. What do you plan to do next with those that did nothing? Of course, you need a follow-up email waiting in the wings, to prod those that didn't engage, to do so with a second email.

Automation and Workflows: In the example shown in the table below, there are around 2,000 contacts divided evenly between five buyer personas and the three lifecycle stages. Effective segmentation of the contacts creates 15 different lists.

List Segmentation - Stage 1 Email Campaign Think about what your ideal outcome is after you press the launch button - of course you want 100% open rates, 100% click rates and 100% conversion rates. But, you know that's not going to happen, so you must

2. What about the 30% who opened the email and the 20% who clicked? Again, you need a follow-up email (perhaps promoting a demo) to those that clicked. 3. Finally, what about those that opened but didn't click? Of course, you need a follow-up email for this group as well. So, as you can see, on just one of our 15 lists we had three different actions waiting on the sidelines, depending on the different contact engagements. For all 15 lists having a minimum of three different emails waiting on the sidelines, the strategy requires preparation of 45 different emails, just for the first cycle of the campaign.

That's 45 different emails before even we start thinking about A/B testing but more on that another time! An example of a simple "If This Then That" workflow. Finally, think about the movement that's going to take place between the lists. Someone in the "awareness" stage who converts and downloads content must be moved to the second (consideration) stage. Likewise, someone who books a demo, must be moved from the "awareness" to the "decision" stage.

Remember, to successfully place yourself among the elites, you must ensure you're sending the right content, to the right place, at the right time. To accomplish this you will need to send different emails, with different calls-to-action, and with different content offers to each of the personas and lifecycle stages.

List Segmentation - Stage 1 Email Campaign

It should be clear, there are a lot of moving parts and, the ability to manage such a level of complexity without automation, is next to impossible. Setup correctly your email launches will cease to be a once or twice a week event. Instead they'll be triggered through automation based on recipient actions. Emails will be leaving your system 24/7 in dynamic responses to all types of actions taken by visitors. Whether it be the result of conversions through calls-toaction and form submissions, (designed to gather relevant information and building progressive profiles matched to your various buyer personas), or whether it be the result of inaction by the contact. Every action or inaction must have a consequence that triggers the next event in the process.

In this example our reseller has developed five different personas according to the buyer preferences. The resellers objective is to migrate all his contacts toward Persona # 1 because he knows the most profit can be made on aftermarket office supplies and he knows that's where the consumer can save the most money.

This is the science of email marketing and this is what must be accomplished if you want to join the elite and start to earn the $40 returns on every dollar spent.

★ Persona # 2 - Converted to aftermarket but only for a national brand

Different types of content will be necessary to achieve migration from Persona # 5 toward Persona # 1 than will be required to migrate a Persona from # 3 to # 1. ★ Persona # 1 - Already willing to consider aftermarket options

★ Persona # 3 - OEM brands only

Execution: Once you've set the rules for list segmentation, prepared the content offers, mapped them according to personas and lifecycle stages, created the email templates, and set your launch timetables and triggers, not only will you have invested a significant amount of time, you will also have learned getting everything in place wasn't a simple process! However, these steps were all key requirements before successful email marketing can commence and, as you may expect, if you want to perform among the elites, there is no alternative to investing the time to accomplish this. In preparing to conduct email marketing from this foundation with the level of sophistication that becomes possible, an asset has been created that's of significant value for generating leads and future new business. In fact, it's an asset that establishes a competitive advantage for developing a significant office products growth opportunity. Let's go back to our example with 2,000 contacts segmented into five buyer personas, three buyer lifecycle stages, and an equal distribution of contacts between them.

★ Persona # 4 - Opposed to technology & automation - i.e. DCA on network ★ Persona # 5 - Buys online for the cheapest price In addition to the objective to migrate the contacts to the optimal persona via the education process, the resellers objective is also to migrate the contacts through the lifecycle stages toward the decision stage and, of course, to eventually become customers. Again, different types of content, according to where the individual buyers are in the lifecycle, are required to achieve this goal.

List Segmentation - Stage 2 Email Campaign The results shown at Stage 2 of the reseller campaign demonstrate some success in achieving the goals with 42% moved to the decision stage and a total of 51% into the Persona # 1 or # 2 categories. The high standard of preparation and execution required to achieve these results has the potential to contribute significantly toward improving the future for office supplies dealerships deploying advanced email marketing strategies.

Execution & Progressive Profiling: There's one more significant element underlying the strategy to achieve world-class results with email marketing. You may be wondering how automation can be utilized to determine the transitions from one persona to another and from one lifecycle stage to another. For sure this cannot be done effectively without strategy, preparation, and technology. Emails must include calls-to-action (CTA) that contain links to landing pages. Contacts click on the CTA because they're interested in the content being offered. The landing page they lead to must contain a form that has to be completed before the content is accessible. The conversion process (form completion and submission) is a transaction - in exchange for the personal information you've requested from the contact, you provide content they've decided it's worth providing the information for. One of the key objectives of the form is to discover as much about the contact as possible. However, the problem is, the longer the form, the less likely it's going to be completed so, you have to be patient and work to accomplish

the goal over a period of time. This is where "smart" fields and "progressive" profiling comes into play. Your most engaged contacts will engage multiple times so, the idea is, that each time they come back for more content, your form is structured to gather a little more information. You don't need the information collected on previous visits so, your "smart" form doesn't even show those fields, instead, it slides in two or three new fields with requests for new information. Each form that's completed then permits you to build a more complete profile of the contact. Intelligent questions, intelligently sequenced, allow a more accurate persona to be developed. It also permits actions to be set that automatically move the contact from one persona to another as well as from one lifecycle to another. Your form may have 40 or more fields but never will more than 3 or 4 be shown at one time. Not only is this information gathering process unobtrusive, it's of indispensable value in terms of accurate persona development

and lifecycle stage determination, thereby ensuring the right content can be delivered in the right place, at the right time, in a workflow that's scaleable, efficient, and effective.

Conclusion Well, any remaining myth that an effective email strategy for office products resellers may be carried out with routine email blasts, randomly firing off special offers, should surely have been dispelled. Any desire to join the elite and earn high returns clearly have to be worked hard for. Technology must be utilized. It should be clear, the strategies and tactics outlined in this article, cannot possibly be deployed without the use of technology. Finally, understanding your buyer personas and creating content carefully targeted to the persona and the three lifecycle stages, is a fundamental requirement. In fact, spending time and resources evaluating technology systems and cleaning up an email contact database is a waste, unless serious thought has been dedicated to the content creation strategy. You can have the best technology systems money can buy and you can have the cleanest email database possible but, without content, it won't be worth a dime.

HP Rules India’s HCP Market HP had a 44.1% share of the Indian HCP market in the fourth quarter of last year, overtaking rivals such as Epson, which came in second, and Canon, which was third, with 23.4% and 18.1% share, respectively. Samsung came in fourth, with a market share of 4.6%. Brother came in next, with a share of 2.9%. Overall, shipments for the HCP market for the period declined by 18.4%, largely because of the demonetization plans of the Indian government. In the inkjet segment, the market decline was 24.6% compared with the third quarter of the year, with Epson gaining the upper hand with a 26.9% market share. This was both an annual and a quarterly increase, contrasting with other vendors, which all witnessed declines in their market share. In laser printers, HP ruled supreme with a 55.7% share of the market, and Canon and Samsung on its heels. The overall laser printer market saw a decline of 11.6% from the third quarter in October-December 2016. In copiers, Canon came on top, with a market share of 27.4%, followed by Konica Minolta with 23%. Ricoh and Kyocera came in third and fourth, respectively.

IBM Leverages Artificial Intelligence to Fight Cyberthreats IBM is upping the ante in the war with cybercriminals, creating an AI program, dubbed Watson, to tackle cybersecurity issues. The advantages are major: Watson can learn continuously, store immense amounts of data and compile numerous security data elements that are then used when a threat is encountered and has to be tackled quickly and efficiently.

As Van Zadelhof pointed out, a company could experience as many as 200,000 security events in just one day. Some security analysts have to deal with 40 threats in a single day – a real challenge for any human, especially one tasked with providing quick results, which is what any business would want when faced with a cyberattack.

In a speech delivered at the IBM’s InterConnect 2017, the general manager of IBM Security, Marc van Zadelhoff, demonstrated Watson’s capabilities, with the help of two more senior IBM officials, CTO Sandy Bird and master inventor Mike Spisak.

Human-machine cooperation is vital for the future world of cybersecurity, IBM’s message seems to be. The capabilities of AI, such as constant learning and no memory fails, as well as the capacity to store enormous amounts of data and, more importantly, make sense of these, will be an essential tool helping security analysts improve their rate of success, effectively diminishing the dangers posed by cybercriminals.

The two showed the audience how Watson, built on the IBM cloud, tackles a cyber threat, constantly communicating through Mike with IBM’s project Hayvn, an application for research and report-generation. Watson’s massive knowledge allowed Bird and Spisak to detect a fictional cybercriminal attack. Then, Watson sent its finding to a security operations center, or SOC, where these were communicated with clients from three countries, Russia, the UK and the US, who discussed the future of cybersecurity and the role of artificial intelligence in it.

Watson is the core of IBM’s SOC platform seeking to aid human talent and expertise in dealing with cyber threats. According to the company, Watson can understand, reason, and learn information that it then uses to analyze structured and unstructured data, detecting threats that a human analyst would be very hard pressed to identify on their own.

HP: Printers are the Biggest Security Threat There has been growing awareness of the cybersecurity risks associated with the modern way of working. Smart devices, PCs and clouds are being made focal point of cybersecurity efforts but, according to HP, printers are being neglected as cyberthreat targets and that can cost a business a lot. The president of HP’s division for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Nick Lazaridis told Silicon that there are printers everywhere and today they have IPs. But, he says, “anything with an IP address can be hacked.” What’s more, almost half of IT managers are aware that printers can be hacked and, even worse, just 2% of printers are being secured against a cyberattack. This means that printers are much more exposed to such attacks than, say, laptops, many of which have security systems built in nowadays. That’s what led HP to develop its new line of A3 multifunctionals with built-in hacking protection that ensures that only authorized users have access to the machine and only legitimate data is input in them. As a whole, HP executives believe, there is a lot of talk about cybersecurity in printing but not enough action and this needs to change to minimize the danger. Not many people think about printers as computers but that’s what they are in the digital era.

Asian Executives Waking Up to Cyber Threats As much as two-thirds of senior executives in Asian companies are taking cybersecurity risks very seriously rather than just viewing it as solely an IT problem, this year’s edition of Telstra’s Cyber Security Report has found. Cybersecurity has been gaining prominence in Asia, with more than half of businesses there experiencing at least one breach per month.

These trends are being driven by people’s changing work and interaction habits and businesses are adapting to these changes, inadvertently increasing their exposure to cyberattacks. For example, as much as 93% of Asian companies are using cloud services but are not doing enough to minimize the dangers inherent in these solutions.

India is most at risk, the research found, with 14.8% of incidents on a weekly basis happening there, followed by Hong Kong, with 14.7% of the weekly cyber incidents in the region. Things are changing for the better, however, Telstra found. The number of C-level executives working to improve the cybersecurity of their companies has almost doubled from 35% back in 2013.

In this area, corporate data theft is seen as the major risk by a majority of respondents in the survey: 60% believe it is a large threat. At the same time, much fewer than these, or 43.1%, believe they have the resources and capabilities to handle such threats, which highlights the discrepancy between risks and preparedness to deal with them in the region.

Also, the great majority of Asian firms have this year allocated more money for combatting cybersecurity: 94.7%, which reflects the unprecedented level of threat they are exposed to, says Telstra’s Security Solutions director, Neil Campbell. Campbell adds that the new challenges are caused by the growing use of mobile devices for business and work purposes as well as the increased reliance on cloud solutions.

According to Campbell, cyber threats inherent in the cloud are just another business risk but qualitatively differ from traditional ones and as such should be handled with a new mindset. He notes that these kinds of risks should prompt a higher degree of responsibility from the C-suite of companies.

High Costs, Limited Material Choice Are the Biggest Challenges in 3D Printing

High costs for everything from equipment to materials and the lack of a wide enough choice of materials are among the biggest challenges for the 3D printing industry, according to Kent Firestone, chief operating officer of Stratasys Direct manufacturing, who was interviewed by Machine Design. Cost reduction is a top priority for the industry, so its adoption can expand further, while the technology itself is being made faster and more reliable, capable of producing greater numbers of items over shorter periods of time. Standards are also a problem, or rather their lack, said Firestone. 3D printer makers would need to standardize their equipment if only to provide engineers with a set of parameters to base their future designs on, strengthening the manufacturing process. For the moment, there are standards for the terminology used in the industry and the next step is to set up standards for production parts, Firestone said. Asked by Machine Design where 3D printing will be in 10 year, Firestone said that the technology will be an essential part of the manufacturing process, with more and better materials to choose from, higher print runs, and more production part 3D printing.

3D Printing Market Sees Unprecedented Competition

An influx of newcomers into the 3D printing playfield has created an unprecedented competition environment in the industry, according to the latest Wohlers report. Last year, the report found, there were 97 companies that made and sold 3D printers, compared with 62 in 2015 and 49 in 2014. This has naturally put pressure on the established leaders of the pack, leading to an overall decline in the market’s growth rate to 17.4% last year, from 25.9% in 2015. The decline was mainly a result of lower sales for these same leaders, including Stratasys and 3D Systems. These two accounted for $1.31 billion of the total sales, or 21.7%, and if they were excluded, the 3D printing market would have grown by 24.7% in 2016. Apparently, the report found, the string demand for 3D printers and services from industrial clients as well as clients from the software and healthcare industries, were not enough to compensate for the decline in professional printer sales and on-demand printing services. Half of the 3D printer makers who comprised the market last year only produced plastic filament machines, with almost 50% offering metal printing. Of these, 19.8% provided metal 3D printing products and services and 29.2% provided both metal and plastic 3D printing machines and services.

HP Slows down 3D Printer Buys but Future Looks Good

HP’s entry into the 3D printing industry with its multi jet fusion printer disrupted the industry, according to analysts, who believe that this move had discouraged buyers as they watch how the tech will evolve from now on. This has dampened the investment attractiveness of the stock of Stratasys and 3D Systems, but at the same time the 3Dprinting industry continues to be a strong buy, it seems. 3D printing services is one segment, which is thriving: a lot of people apparently prefer to have their item printed by a service provider rather than investing in their own 3D printer. 3D printing software is another segment with good growth potential. A growing number of businesses are turning to 3D printing for prototyping and modeling, so more designers will be using 3D modeling software. Lastly, metal 3D printing is all the rage: the aerospace and carmaking industries are eager to get their hands on technology that will allow them to 3D print reliable, strong component parts and other elements for their products, lowering their costs while maintaining good quality. Naturally, all this means that 3D printing materials will also continue to expand, possibly at a very fast rate as users of the technology need more and more different ones. After all, 3D printing emerged as an alternative to traditional manufacturing and traditional manufacturing utilizes tens of thousands of materials.

Caterpillar Uses 3D Printing Wisely

Heavy machinery maker Caterpillar is among the big companies incorporating 3D printing into their workflows. The approach that Cat is following is, as expressed by its Additive Manufacturing product manager Stacey DelVecchio, “think big, start small, and act fast.� Caterpillar has had 3D printers around since the early 1990s, in its rapid prototyping lab. More recently, as desktop 3D printers emerged, Cat bought desktops for its engineers, to help them with the first design iterations of products. The company also started expanding the applications of 3D printing in its business beyond rapid prototyping and early iterations. To do this, the company invested in six industrial 3D printers and installed them at several of its facilities in the US, encouraging engineers to experiment however they like with them. Then Caterpillar spread the word, organizing an Additive Manufacturing summit and a 3D design competition, encouraging engineers to come up with ideas about end products. Now, the company has a full-fledged AM factory where engineers not only experiment but work on end products. The factory is already producing one such product: a geometrically unique fuel swirler.

FormFutura Releases Stone-Filled 3D Printing Material

FormFutura, the Dutch company that produces and markets metal-filled and thermoplastic filaments, has come out with a new product: StoneFil, a PLA-based, stone-filled filament. The material contains 50% powdered stone and comes in four versions: terracotta, granite, pottery clay, and concrete. The filament is up to 37% denser than PLA-only filaments thanks to its stone content and sports a matte finish consistent with the characteristics of its stone filling. The drawback is that the material is abrasive to 3D printer nozzles, so FormFutura has compiled guidelines for users when they try out the new filament.

Research Identifies Improvement Points for 3D Printers

A joint research project from three academic institutions, including MIT, has identified several points that bear improvement in order to accelerate the 3D printing process. Chief among these is the speed at which polymer filaments melt in FDM machines, determined by the temperature in the nozzle that extrudes it. The nozzle is part of a mechanism that also features a pinch-wheel element and this pinchwheel is limited in the force it can use because of temperature limitations: if it’s not hot enough it won’t be able to feed the material into the nozzle. According to the lead author of the study, this insight could help other researchers develop better mechanisms allowing for pre-heating of the filament as well as 3D printing with multiple nozzles.

Print Management: The Quiet Innovation Information technology advancement is all the rage, which makes perfect sense in a world increasingly reliant on digital. Yet attention goes predominantly to things like cloud computing, Software-as-a-service, other things as a service, and the Internet of Things, while another important aspect of the overall innovation drive tends to get neglected. This is print management: the innovation that is helping enterprises cut their costs, boost the efficiency of their operations and even improve their cybersecurity levels. In fact, managed print services are becoming so popular that there is veritable demand for more innovation in this department, to facilitate the work of all departments in a company, not just the users of the services.

For example, IT departments could free up more of their time to work on other issues if a service provider supplies a solution allowing employees to use the company printers from a remote location, without the need for the IT department to take part in this process. In addition to workflow efficiency, there is the bigger issue of cybersecurity. Again, printers are being neglected when it comes to security, despite the fact that they can be particularly vulnerable to attacks. With the evolution of the Internet of Things, this vulnerability will only increase as more and more devices get connected, so things like a reliable authentication process will become vital and managed print service providers are already developing them as part of their offering.

CIG Releases Remanufactured Cartridges for HP M252 Color Printers Chicago, Ill. – Clover Imaging Group (CIG) is excited to announce the release of 201A remanufactured color cartridges for the M252 line of HP JetIntelligence printers. The release of the 201A toner cartridges creates a new benchmark for the industry for innovation and engineering prowess. CIG transformed its patented and proprietary technology to successfully remanufacture color cartridges for the challenging, new HP color cartridge families. “As was the case with the 26A, the seal technology was a critical barrier since the seal winds internally with no user intervention,” said Luke Goldberg, EVP Global Sales and Marketing of CIG. “The same technology exists in the color M252 printers, and our patent pending secure seal technology, that we first introduced with the 26A, proved to be scalable to these models as well, which creates a seamless user experience for the customer.” CIG features the innovative technology behind the build of remanufactured color cartridges for M252 printers in a newly released video. Instead of looking to compatible cartridges as a solution, as competitors in the imaging industry have done, CIG engineers got to work, developing a new line of remanufactured color cartridges that provide an OEM-

like user experience and print performance. CIG’s patented reman processes and technology advancements in research and development helped their engineers address the challenges of the new JetIntelligence designs and allowed CIG to build the only true OEM alternative. “We view this release as another testament to CIG’s ability to offer OEM alternative quality and to overcome barriers erected by OEMs,” said Eric Tuvesson, VP of Color R&D of CIG. “We also view this as substantiation that the best way to provide a high quality aftermarket replacement cartridge is to start with the highest quality product available, namely the spent OEM core and remanufacture it to exacting standards. We believe this path provides the safest possible option for our customer from both an IP and quality perspective.”

HP Focuses on Everything-as-a-Service, A3 Market HP Inc. is increasingly moving into the direction of offering everything as a service, including devices and services, and at the same time working on a major offensive in the A3 printer market that should see its share of it rise from 4% at the moment to 10%. The A3 market is worth $55 billion, so wanting a larger share of it makes perfect sense. As part of this offensive, HP has developed a lineup of A3 printers, which, according to some experts, are a tough competition for the current market leaders, featuring lower costs at the same quality. In addition, the lineup sports an inbuilt hacking protection system, signaling the growing attention cybersecurity in printing is getting. The Sure Start system basically stores a gold master copy of the OS the printer is using, so if the printer is attacked, it can detect the attack, reboot, and protect itself. Security is a top priority for HP, according to its CEO, with the company studying the megatrends for the next few decades in order to devise its security strategy, and it has been doing this for years. The company has allocated resources and talent to secure its printers and other devices “below the operating system.” HP has been preparing for the launch for a long time and will be using a network of 250,000 channel partners, with the marketing campaign focusing on the cost savings and top performance that the HP printers can offer, when compared with same-class printers from other manufacturers. In everything as a service HP has been making inroads for a decade now, according to CEO Dion Weisler. Weisler said in an interview with CRN that HP is leveraging the years of experience it has servicing clients to offer them devices as a service, including 3D printing as a service.

The direction seems to be the right one: Weisler also said that the everything-as-a-service pipeline is the one that is growing at the fastest rate within the company: printing, PCs, and workstations. The company’s partners are welcoming this shift, according to the CEO, with the approach allowing them to expand their offering to their customers too, from, managed print services to PCs, for example. Weisler says HP is uniquely positioned to benefit from its years in managed print services that made it a market leader and extend these benefits into other business segments, such as PC. MPS are much more cost-efficient than alternatives and cybersecurity issues can be addressed more effectively by professionals, which is why more and more businesses opt for MPS. In addition, they can free up other IT resources and use them for something else, saving additional costs, the CEO explains. HP is also enabling its partners with the tools they need to start offering their own products and services on a as-a-service basis. This particular initiative is still in the nascent stages but it holds substantial promise. On the topic of 3D printing, Weisler said that the industry is still young and will take years to mature but it is certainly something you should invest in if you’re investing in the future. The company’s belief is that 3Dprinting will disrupt the printing industry radically in the coming decade, with the market growing at 30% as of 2021. HP’s estimates are that plastics will account for some $10 billion of this market and it is targeting this segment of the market to boost revenues in the coming years. Growth-wise, Weisler said that HP is looking for suitable acquisitions in the coming years in order to achieve its shareholder return targets.

Morgan Stanley Raises HP Inc. Price Target Morgan Stanley has revised up its price target for the shares of HP Inc. with an “Overweight” stance on the company’s stock. The investment bank notes that after the split from Hewlett Packard Enterprises, it managed to reduce costs by over $1 billion and has focused its efforts on innovative products across its business segments. Thanks to these changes and the release of products including the Sprocket mobile photo printer line and gaming and VR PCs, Morgan Stanley has upped its price target on the stock to $22 from $19, expecting HP Inc. to continue to improve its financial performance.

Conversation Corner.

Zulfikar Ramzan by Sunny Sun

Editor’s note: Mr. Zulfikar Ramzan, CTO, RSA conference, described information-rich cyberspace by using the “ripple effect” during his keynote speech, “Planning for Chaos”, at RSA 2017. He said it is in the very nature of our existence that we live in a disruptive and chaotic world, be it nature-made or man-made. The disruptions, while presenting both challenges and opportunities, cause ripples. Through the ripples we generate connections. In an increasingly networked cyberspace, we depend on each other more than ever to defend and plan for unexpected chaos. I greatly appreciate that Mr. Ramzan has shared not only his industry insights with our readers, but his generous spirit to unification. I hope to create a dialogue via the CyberAsia 360 media platform, to build a bridge and make connections between West and East. Below is the conversation with Mr. Zulfikar Ramzan

You are a first generation immigrant from Tanzania, received your BA with a double major from Cornell University, earned a Ph.D from MIT, published 59 books, and acquired 47 patents. Please tell us your story growing up—how did an immigrant child accomplish so much in the US, and why did you choose to focus on cyber security? I had the opportunity to grow up in the midst of the “PC” revolution and when I was in elementary school, I asked my parents to buy me a Commodore Vic 20 computer. At the time, the Commodore 64 had just come out and the prices for the Vic 20 were very low. We purchased the basic CPU, with no other peripherals, and hooked it up to the back of an old black and white television. Because we hadn’t purchased any accessories, the only thing I could do was to learn how to program it myself by actually reading the manual. This ignited a lifelong interest in computers and programming at a time when it was much easier to understand how computers worked at a fundamental level. Over time, my interest continued to grow. Years later, my high school was given a few Internet connected terminals and a group of us spent time exploring these systems and finding weaknesses along the way. Around this time, I also read a remarkable book called “The Cuckoo’s Egg” by Cliff Stoll, a true account of tracking down a hacker who compromised the systems at a national research lab. From that point onward, I was basically hooked!

You have been in the cybersecurity industry for most of your career. What you have witnessed that poses the most significant cyber threat, and the potential breaches that continue to plague businesses and executives? What makes cybersecurity so fascinating is that the only constant is change. Threat actors constantly morph their approaches and force our industry to keep innovating. As a company, RSA has continued to bring new technologies to market to address these trends. Our historical roots were in cryptography, but we recognized that cybersecurity is highly multifaceted. Consequently, we moved into the space of authentication and identity management with our SecurID technology. We have more recently evolved this technology to a more comprehensive suite offerings that provide secure access to both cloud and on-premises applications, robust multifactor authentication capabilities, and risk-based analytics for identity assurance. In addition, RSA offers the Netwitness Suite for comprehensive security monitoring, the Archer Suite for GRC, and finally our Fraud and Risk Intelligence suite. As we look to the future, we have to continue to evolve and incorporate the latest innovations into our offerings.


Certain fundamentals, however, continue to hold constant. For example, identity continues to be the most consequential attack vector since every attack, at some point, involved co-opting the access afforded to a legitimate user. Visibility continues to be foundational to security since you cannot even begin to protect what you cannot see. Finally, companies need to take a risk-based view so they can allocate the resources they have in the most optimal way possible. RSA’s themes for many years were focused on how information was generated, distributed, and protected. The 2017 RSA was themed “Power of OpportUNITY”, emphasizing UNITY and business driven security. What does this entail? What will be the theme for 2018? The RSA Conference, which we have had the honor of hosting given our role as a pioneer of the information security industry, provides an opportunity to bring the industry together. To me this is the essence of unity – a group of people collectively working towards common objectives. Today’s organizations are struggling on the weight of a rapidly expanding attack surface, a sharp rise in threats, and a steady increase in the sophistication of attackers. The only way to move forward is to take a business driven view of security. Trying to deal with each threat you see separately will ultimately fail. Instead, organizations must use business context to understand which threats matter most and prioritize accordingly. In this way, they can align their security program with the ultimate objectives of their business. As a company, RSA provides products and services geared towards the aim of helping our customers implement a business-driven security strategy.

China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Cyberspace Administration of China recently published “International Strategy of Cooperation on Cyberspace”. What is your viewpoint on this? Cyberspace isn’t constrained by the tangible boundaries of the physical world. Motivated threat actors are simply one network connection away and not limited by geographic distance. Given these circumstances, cooperation among different entities becomes all the more important. Of course, achieving these ideals is far easier said than done. It is important to define roles and responsibilities carefully to foster the development of mutual trust.

How do you perceive collaboration on cyber defense among the different countries? And what role does the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defense Center Of Excellence (“CCD COE”) play? In general, we can gain tremendously from effective collaboration. It’s clear that from an attacker’s perspective, a single dollar of offense beats a dollar of defense every time. Cybersecurity measures can quickly become a war of attrition. To address this concern, it’s important to work together and share insights in a way that mutually benefits

all the involved parties. Again, it’s critical to engender trust, which requires that roles and responsibilities be carefully defined.

How do you perceive the direction of machine learning and automation? What would be its potential impact on changes to the societal structure? These technologies hold tremendous promise. In the security context, RSA has been using machine learning techniques for over a decade in the context of identifying threats and other types of malicious activity. We have successfully used machine learning techniques in production customer environments to find sophisticated threats, including those developed by nation states. However, it’s important to recognize that machine learning is a tool, not a panacea. Like any tool, it must be used correctly and appropriately. When it comes to machine learning, I see many organizations conflate the means with the ultimate objective. As an organization, RSA’s goal is help our customers take command of their evolving security posture. Machine Learning represents one approach for helping us achieve this objective.

The March issue of “The Economist” discussed the “Quantum Leaps” of the number of patent applications filed on quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum sensors. Both China and United States are ranked at the top, with China’s 156 patent applications and the United States’ 151. What is your view on the cyber security technology in China? Will RSA plan on collaborating with China’s cyberspace industry in the near future? If yes, how so? Quantum computation is a highly fascinating field of study. There is still a wide chasm between the potential impacts of quantum computers and what they can actually achieve in practice today. From an engineering perspectives, there are still massive challenges to developing scalable quantum computers. No one is even close today. However, the rate of human progress can be breathtaking. Perhaps we are just a handful of “quantum leaps” away from realizing the full potential of quantum computers and having to deal with their corresponding ramifications from a security perspective.

Lastly, what is your advice for companies, large and small, on the proper security strategy and preparation needed for 2017 and beyond? Simply put, take a business driven view of security. No organization has unlimited resources. It is critical to approach security intelligently and with the purpose of furthering broader objectives, whether it be a business objective of today’s modern enterprise or a mission objective of a government agency. Don’t simply pile on different security technologies and vendors. Understand how these technologies can work in concert and how they can leverage business context to protect what matters most.

Establishment of CET GROUP SPAIN BRANCH CET Group has accelerated the implementation of the globalization strategy in the OA industry by completing its merger with the Spanish company REPROVIGO EXPORT, S.L. in April 2017. REPROVIGO EXPORT, S.L., currently one of the top three suppliers in Spain for compatible consumables for copier machines, actively focuses on the Spanish and Portuguese markets. The merger of these two companies will improve the value chain of CET business, from research & development to production to the end user. Consequently, this will bring high-quality CET-compatible products and services to Spanish and Portuguese customers. CET Group continues to devote itself to the innovation of international branch company management. Like our brand new location in Russia, CET Spain is an overseas branch that will be entirely operated by a local management team. CET Group will empower this team and ensure that their strategies for business management and market development are in line with CET’s corporate values of trust. This will prove to be a significant breakthrough in multinational companies’ localization of management. Mr. Steven Ma, president of CET group, believes that our management philosophy and corporate culture fosters the innovation of enterprise globalization management. Such innovation has proven to be one of the main reasons why CET Group has been among the upper echelon of companies within the OA industry.

Toyo Ink and Doneck Enter Licensing Agreement for Waterbased Lamination Inks Toyo Ink Co., Ltd., a member of the Toyo Ink Group, and Doneck Euroflex S.A., a manufacturer of flexo and gravure inks for the European region, have announced that they concluded a licensing agreement that allows Doneck to manufacture and sell Toyo Ink's AQUA LIONAT and AQUAECOLT series of water-based lamination inks to markets in Europe. This licensing agreement is expected to strengthen the position of both companies in the competitive global packaging industry, as water-based alternatives to printing inks are projected to fuel the future growth of the industry, especially in the food packaging sector. "We're delighted to enter this agreement with Doneck Euroflex, a major company in the supply of liquid ink systems across Europe," says Katsumi Yamazaki, president of Toyo Ink. "We already have an established supply structure and a proven sales track record in Asia and North and South America. The new licensing agreement will allow us to strengthen our existing water-based liquid inks operations on a global basis by extending its supply structure to Europe, a region where its presence had been weak up until now." While tapping into Doneck's extensive distribution network, Toyo Ink will strive to provide full customer support tailored to individual market needs and to achieveshipments of 1,000 tons per year during the company's next mid-term management plan that runs from fiscal 2018 through fiscal 2020.

"We are happy to introduce this unique water-based technology which could lead to increased environmental sustainability. We are proud that Doneck Network was chosen by Toyo Ink as partner for AQUA LIONA and AQUAECOL for the European market," says Arndt Breitbach, managing director and main shareholder of the Doneck Network. Toyo Ink is a pioneer in retort technology development. The AQUA LIONA series of water-based flexo lamination ink is the first of its kind to support high-end retort applications, exhibiting excellent printability at high-speeds. The AQUAECOL series of water-based gravure lamination inks features a high pigmentation design that helps it achieve excellent printability anda high resolution. In addition, AQUAECOL is suitable to a wide range of applications from snack to retort food packaging. Both AQUA LIONA and AQUAECOL use as their base resin, a water-soluble urethane resin engineered with Toyo Ink's unique polymer technology. As a result, these inks demonstrate world-class printing results and quality while adhering to strict chemical substance regulations and guidelines, such as the Swiss Ordinance and the European Printing Ink Association. AQUA LIONA and AQUAECOL will be showcased at the Toyo Ink Group booth at the Interpack 2017 packaging exhibition in Düsseldorf, Germany in May.

肖东平还向与会朋友分享了未来打印机的发展趋势, 并看好复印机租贷市场的前景。

都好做。作为立足于市场的公司,做好品牌是第一要素。 高龙谈到,跨界发展是行业的创新。跨界发展有两 种理解:1. 从一个行业延伸到另一个行业,如格之格

邯郸汉光“养大一款产品” 赢得市场 邯郸汉光副总经理赵素平,向大家介绍了汉光 13 年中 专注一款产品,从而立足于行业之首的经验。 2004 年,汉光年产墨粉仅 400 吨,梦想着能够年产

由耗材产品延伸到芯片制造。2. 从一种应用能力迅速 学习掌握另一种应用能力,如北京莱盛从办公配件出 发,扩大到外包服务。每一次跨界都意味着挑战与机遇, 不论结果怎样,都会给企业带来新的动力。

内容。 会上,天津复印机研究所市场部经理王蕊分享了在

突破和改进,将粘灰、波纹、漏粉各类问题一一解决后, HG206 粉与惠普 5000 粉技术接近了,才最终送到客户手中, 并得到市场的认可。这款产品的质量接近 08 粉,性价比 高于 LG 粉,最后争取到本属于 LG 有效客户的信赖,确保 了公司的有效利润。 2. 选择最好的配方及设备 想获得好的产品就一定在原材料上下功夫,汉光很少 更换供应商,只认准一家的产品。同时,汉光在原材料选 择又很严格,对供应商有很高的要求。汉光生产复印机耗 材时曾使用过武汉一家供应商提供树脂,后来产品收到了 投诉,在解决了客户问题后,汉光就再也不与这家供应商 合作了。在设备上,汉光 8 条生产线全部进口于德国。汉 光认为:同样的配方,不一样的设备,生产出来的产品差 异很大。 有好的指导思想引路,有很强的团队执行力,具备相配 套的管理手段,使汉光的产品最终稳坐行业的第一把交椅。

在发展中思考 北京北方副总经理高龙,以中小型耗材企业的视角谈

结语 此次北京耗材联盟市场分析会,时间虽然不长,但 大家不仅分析了当前形势,也指出了耗材行业发展的 方向,达成了互联互通、共享资源的共识。北京莱盛 公司和北京北方办公公司提出了一个很好的平台建设 构想,希望大家共同做好这个平台,发展好自己的事业。

自 2007 年起,由亚洲再生业团队举办的

为什么选择泗水?

东南亚办公耗材展已经连续举办了十一届届。

泗水是印度尼西亚东爪哇省省会、 印尼第二大城市,

十年来,一系列展会吸引了海内外多家影像

也是印尼华人比例最高的城市之一,面积 326 平方公里,

耗材厂商参展,来自印尼当地诸岛、泰国、

常住人口 270 万,是东南亚及亚太地区比较重要的工业

越南、马来西亚、菲律宾、乃至德国、英国、

和贸易中心城市。泗水港是仅次于雅加达爪哇的第二大

印度、中东、美国、巴西等国以及中国大陆、

港。泗水市是东爪哇的交通要冲,堪称印尼的工业城、

港澳台各地数以万计的观众到场参观。从马

商业城、大学城、海港城。

来西亚到新加坡,再到印度尼西亚、泰国、 越南,我们积累了丰富的客户资源,获得了 广泛的行业认可,成为东南亚唯一的影像耗 材品牌展览会,在办公耗材行业内的影响力 也逐年扩大。2017 年的展会东南亚办公耗材 展第四次选择在印度尼西亚举办,势必将在 以往的基础上赢得更多的关注和支持。

展会名称:RechargExpo Indonesia 2017 时间:2017 年 8 月 3-6 日 地点:印度尼西亚,泗水

为什么选择重返印尼? 印度尼西亚拥有 2.6 亿人口,是世界上第 四人口大国;国内生产总值超过 8000 亿美元, 是东南亚第一大经济体,也是经济增长较快 的发展中国家。有这样的人口基数,加上经 济的快速增长,印度尼西亚可为广大耗材行 业企业提供巨大的市场购买潜力基础。

HP IonTouch Tech Makes Ink Out

不耗油墨可反复擦写 惠普推出 IonTouch 印刷技术 墨水打印因具有长久性在现代社会被广泛使用。但同时这样 的打印方式也具有成本耗费高以及效率低下等短板。虽然数字显 示器甚至电子墨水屏是一种不错的替代方式,但它们有时又太过 于波动而不利于信息的存储,并且成本上也是不低。据 slashgear 报道,日前惠普带来了一种名为 IonTouch 的新型印刷技术,将永 久性墨水和可修改电子显示器的优点结合到了一起。只需要几美 分的成本,就可不耗费墨水将内容打印到一张信用卡大小的显示 卡片上。 电话卡、礼品卡、临时身份证、门票,二维码这些小型印刷卡片的打印通常会对纸张和油墨造成巨 大的浪费。而 IonTouch 打印技术将为这些用户节约下一大笔资金。IonTouch 打印技术由两部分组成, IonTouch 成像器和 IonTouch 显示卡片。IonTouch 成像器是唯一可对 IonTouch 显示卡片进行内容打印的设 备,但这一打印却不需要使用到油墨却也同样具备了油墨的永久性。打印好的卡片内容显示与电子显示 屏需要耗电进行显示也不同,不需要电量就可以将信息显示出来。 IonTouch 成像器可对 IonTouch 显示卡片进行反复擦写,避免了纸张打印的浪费。在成像器没有重新 擦写之前,IonTouch 显示卡片将永久显示最后一次打印的内容,相较于油墨打印的信息保存也更为长久。 当然,惠普方面并没有泄露这种专有技术的更详细细节。虽然 IonTouch 技术比印刷在纸上看上去好 像复杂得多,但是它对经济和生态环保都极具吸引力。
