OfficeMax Signs Three-Year Agreement With Xerox to Provide Better Quality Printing and Custom Services

OfficeMax (NYSE: OMX) has signed a three-year agreement with Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) to complete the rollout of nearly 3,000 Xerox printers and multifunction systems to approximately 900 retail stores nationwide. OfficeMax is completing the replacement of a wide range of color and black-and-white production and office printing systems both behind the counter and for walk-up use. The agreement makes Xerox the primary equipment vendor for OfficeMax ImPress™, OfficeMax’s new identity for print and document services operation that serves businesses and consumers through direct sales, online sales and inside all OfficeMax retail locations.

By the end of January, OfficeMax will have upgraded all of its self-serve copiers in OfficeMax ImPress Centers to WorkCentre™ Pro 265 multifunction systems, which can copy, print, scan and fax. The company is laying the groundwork for new services for its customers. OfficeMax chose this model because of the recently announced Xerox Extensible Interface Platform™, which enables independent software vendors and partners to develop customized programs for the systems’ display panel, or touch-screen.

“The Xerox multifunction systems, combined with the Extensible Interface Platform, will help us meet the specific needs of our customers,” said Brian Norris, senior vice president of OfficeMax ImPress. “We will make it quicker and easier for people to create powerful documents that will truly impress. We’ll also offer them more services and value through a customized display panel that could, for example, allow people to view and print current coupons. The possibilities are virtually endless.”
