Hamidah Mansor Packaging Business Manager - Xerox Corporation

“Very pleased with the process – I like that the iVAT covers the whole business, so you get a total picture of what changes. The model offered by the vendor only captures the direct cost of print, and that can muddy the water. I’m much more comfortable with the total view provided by your iVAT, and the ease with which you can make changes to test various scenarios and assumptions.”
