International Data Corporation (IDC), a leading global provider of market intelligence, advisory services, and events for the information technology, telecommunications, and consumer technology markets, is launching a series of conferences focused on document and print management solutions in Central and Eastern Europe. Running from May 18 to September 28, the conference series will visit seven major cities across the region.

IDC research indicates that organizations of all sizes and sectors of the economy often have little or no idea how much they are actually spending on printing and imaging. "This is mainly due to the widespread but incorrect approach of not considering printing and imaging infrastructure a part of the overall IT infrastructure. As such, printing and imaging devices remain unmanaged. Failure to manage output environments, however, results in escalating costs, lower employee productivity, and inefficient output-related business processes," says Imaging & Hardcopy Research Director Mitri Roufka at IDC CEMA.

With organizations in all sectors of the economy seizing the opportunity to bring their printing and imaging costs under control, IDC's prestigious Document & Print Management Solutions Conference brings together document management experts, industry leaders, independent analysts, and end users to exchange ideas, share experience and best practices, and discuss the latest trends and developments in document management.

IDC's Document and Print Management Solutions Roadshow will cover a range of topics, including:

• Key challenges in printing and imaging
• The optimization of print services
• The benefits and potential of managed print services
• Managed document services and outsourcing
• The advantages of the enterprise output management
• Best practices for document and print management

Partners in the conference include leading global and local providers of print and document management solutions and services, such as LRS, Konica Minolta, Samsung, and Star Storage.
