Xerox buys another reseller

Acquisition trail heats up again for print vendor

Xerox has acquired UK print consultancy and software provider NewField IT for an undisclosed sum.

According to the vendor, the move was made with a view to further expanding its managed print services (MPS) portfolio.

In a statement, Xerox also highlighted NewField IT's Asset DB suite, which creates visual maps to show how printers and copiers are being used throughout an office.

The move follows the March buy of Scottish print and imaging provider Concept Group. The past three years have seen Xerox also buy Ireland's Irish Business Systems and Dutch reseller Veenman.

This year, the vendor also announced a European partnership with Office Depot in the Netherlands to deliver MPS.
