We are delighted to announce that both of our MPS partners, Xerox and HP have again been officially recognised as market leaders in Managed Print Services by Quocirca.
Quocirca is a global market insight and research firm. Their latest report, Managed Print Services Landscape 2021 – a vendor analysis of the global MPS market, was released in March 2021.
Stacked are the only Irish Managed Print Service provider that partners with both market leaders in this area, which means that we are uniquely positioned to bring you a choice of the latest and best technology, solutions and expertise from the organisations that are at the top of their game globally.
According to the report, “Xerox is one of the most established MPS providers in the market and has a long heritage in delivering large complex engagements. Xerox’s strengths lie in its global service delivery design, ability to provide multi-vendor support, use of comprehensive analytics, and strong security credentials – capabilities which are key to differentiation in a mature MPS market. Xerox retains its leadership position in Quocirca’s assessment of the global MPS market. It excels in its broad and comprehensive service portfolio which is supported by a mature global service delivery platform.”
Xerox’s significant investments in cloud computing, digitization, and IT services and solutions to meet the unique needs of the hybrid workforce and SMB customers played a key role in maintaining their leadership position.
“Xerox has heavily invested in the delivering of a robust cloud services infrastructure which has enabled it to provide a secure and agile platform for supporting the printing and document collaboration needs of the hybrid worker. Of particular note are Xerox’s broader digitisation capabilities, combined with its enterprise-class managed IT services capabilities, both of which place Xerox in a strong position to meet the unique needs of SMB customers who will increasingly be looking for solutions that extend beyond print to support business needs in the new normal.” according to the report.”
The report also says that “MPS is being used to support the hybrid workplace. Fully outsourced MPS is already showing its value for the future hybrid workplace. 56% of organisations with fully outsourced MPS have provided printers for remote workers, compared with only 42% of those using a hybrid model. Provisioning printers for home workers combats shadow IT purchasing and allows the organisation to retain control over the print devices accessing its network and data.”
As a global leader, you can trust HP.
HP takes a holistic approach to managing the latest printing and imaging tools, technologies, infrastructure, and processes that support businesses to improve productivity, simplify management, and reduce costs for the entire end-user environment. HP offers end-to-end solutions and services, with PCs, printers, and more.
HP is a trusted global technology and services leader with service coverage in 170 countries that are tuned locally to address unique region and country needs. HP has one of the strongest, most comprehensive print security models in the industry, a global bench of credentialed security advisors, and the World’s Most Secure Printers. As an innovative leader and partner in advancing sustainability and corporate social responsibility goals, HP was recognized as the #1 America’s most responsible companies by Newsweek in 2020.
Quocirca also says “HP has made strong advances in deepening its security services and solutions portfolio.”
According to another Quocirca report, Home Printing Trends, Executive Summary 2021, HP is seen as the home and office technology leader.
“When it comes to choosing a brand, HP is the clear leader. 47% consider HP as a leader for home printing, followed by Canon (21%) and Epson (13%). HP is also the brand most likely to be considered for the home office (74%), and the brand that around half of respondents already own (49%).”
Stacked has been supplying Irish businesses with printing hardware since 2007 and Managed Print Solutions since 2011. We are proud to say that we are official partners of both global leaders in print technology; HP and Xerox.

Our expert consultants can arrange either an onsite or remote printer fleet audit, at your convenience, which will identify any potential for improvements as well as ways to reduce the number of touchpoints on any on-site shared devices.
If you would like a free, no obligation audit of your current printer fleet (on or offsite) with a view to ensuring you have full visibility and control of every printing device connected to your network, get in touch today.
