Segment Information
Our reportable segments are Services, Technology and Other. We present operating segment financial information in Note 2 – Segment Reporting in the Consolidated Financial Statements, which we incorporate by reference here. We have a very broad and diverse base of customers by both geography and industry, ranging from small and midsize businesses (“SMBs”) to graphic communications companies, governmental entities, educational institutions and Fortune 1000 corporate accounts. None of our business segments depends upon a single customer, or a few customers, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
The cost and complexities of smoothly and securely running back-office operations can be a distraction from focusing on core business. That’s why enterprises turn to partners who specialize in
key business processes.

Technology
Technology includes the sale of products and supplies, as well as the associated technical service and financing of those products (that which is not related to document outsourcing contracts). Our Technology business is centered around strategic product groups that share common technology, manufacturing and product platforms.
57% Mid-range
The Mid-range business comprises a wide range of multifunction printers, copiers, digital printing presses, and light production printers and copiers sold to enterprises of all sizes.
22% Entry
The Entry business comprises products sold principally to small and midsize businesses.
21% High-end
The High-end business provides high-end digital color and monochrome systems designed for customers in the graphic communications industry and for large enterprises.
The innovation that we bring to document systems, software and integrated solutions is unparalleled in the industry and is built into our broad portfolio of technology, for businesses of any size, in any industry, around the world.
Our strategic product groups are as follows:
Entry
Entry comprises products sold primarily to small and midsize businesses through a worldwide network of independent resellers and online merchants. It includes desktop monochrome and color printers and multifunction printers (“MFPs”) ranging from small personal devices to larger workgroup printers designed to serve the needs of demanding office users. In 2011, we continued to build on our position in the
market by:
- Making high-quality desktop color more affordable and easier to
use for all businesses
- Expanding our channel reach, partner programs and capacity to support the needs of small to midsize businesses
- Launching products and solutions that help individuals, small
work teams, large workgroups or whole departments achieve their
business goals.
We continued to build on our portfolio in 2011 with the launches of:
- Compact Printers and MFPs: In 2011, Xerox introduced a new line of compact color and monochrome printers and MFPs for small businesses. Xerox innovations with LED print heads and emulsion aggregation (“EA”) toner resulted in a small, low-cost product that maintains the professional appearance of the printed page. The new products introduced were: Phaser® 6000/6010 color printers, WorkCentre® 6015 color MFP, Phaser® 3010/3040 printers and WorkCentre® 3045 MFP.
- Phaser® 6700: This high-speed workgroup color printer accelerates productivity for workgroups in midsize to large businesses. With a
47 page per minute (“ppm”) print speed, advanced touch-screen interface
and optional stacker/stapler, the Phaser 6700 is ideal for workgroup teams. The Phaser 6700 also has enhanced print quality and reliability with true 2400 x 1200 dpi print resolution and a 120,000-page duty cycle.
- Phaser® 7800: This color printer lowers the cost of printing for smaller graphic design firms and in-house marketing departments. Using the Hi-Q LED print system, EA toner and hardware-assisted edge enhancement and trapping, in addition to a 45 ppm tabloid/A3-size print engine and finishing capabilities from the WorkCentre 7500 series, the Phaser 7800 also handles the heaviest paper in common use – up to 350gsm – the most flexible media handling in its class.
Mid-range
Mid-range comprises products sold to enterprises of all sizes, principally through dedicated Xerox-branded partners and our direct sales force. We offer a wide range of multifunction printers, copiers, digital printing presses and light production devices that deliver flexibility and advanced features. In 2011, our Mid-range business continued to build on our position in the market by:
- Making high-quality color more affordable and easier to use for small/midsize businesses and large enterprises alike
- Expanding our channel reach, partner programs and capacity to support the needs of the SMB market
- Offering a complete range of services and solutions in partnership with independent software partners that allow our customers to analyze, streamline, automate, secure and track their document workflows.
The breadth of our Mid-range product portfolio is unmatched. In 2011, we launched:
- Xerox WorkCentre® 7525, 7530 and 7535: These new multifunction printers are equipped with features to help small and midsize businesses boost productivity and meet their sustainability goals. They offer speeds up to 25, 30 and 35 ppm in color and black-and-white. The MFPs, which can print, copy, scan, fax and email, include advanced document management and workflow tools to make office work easier, and also offer unparalleled ease of use and security features. In addition, the Hi-Q LED print engine technology consumes less energy and space and produces less noise, while printing resolutions of 1200 x 2400 dpi.
High-end
Our High-end digital color and monochrome solutions are designed for customers in the graphic communications industry and for large enterprises. These devices enable digital on-demand printing, digital full-color printing and enterprise printing. Integrated solutions such as automated in-line finishing result in “touch-less” workflows (with little to no manual processing or human intervention) that allow Xerox customers to produce more jobs and grow their business. We provide products and solutions that enable our customers to delight their customers with the highest-quality output available in the market. We are creating new market opportunities in targeted application areas
with digital printing as a complement to traditional offset printing.
For more than two decades, Xerox has delivered innovative technologies that have revolutionized the production printing industry, maintaining our position as the industry leader in the number of pages produced on
digital production color presses. We continued to build on our award-winning lineup in 2011 with the launches of:
- Xerox 770: We launched the 770 late in 2011 to enhance our entry production color offerings. The 770 builds on the very successful 700 product, with productivity enhancements to speed and color management. The 770 produces output at 70 ppm, including heavyweight stocks. An in-line spectrophotometer has been added to the 770, enabling the Xerox Automated Color Quality Suite (“ACQS”). ACQS brings features usually found on higher-end products such as the 8080 and Color Press, and makes the Xerox production color portfolio the broadest in the industry.
- iGen4 Matte Dry Ink: We added an additional dry ink offering for the iGen4: matte dry ink (“MDI”). This alternative dry ink provides a flatter or more-offset-like image quality. Ideal for the expanding photo market, matte dry ink, along with the largest sheet size in the market – 26”/660mm – expands iGen4’s market-leading applications.
We are enabling print providers in graphic communications, service bureaus and large enterprises to profit and grow by meeting their customers’ specific business needs with just-in-time, one-to-one and e-based services – rather than simply manufacturing a printed piece.
FreeFlow Digital Workflow: Our FreeFlow digital workflow is a collection of software technology solutions that our customers can use to improve all aspects of their processes, from content creation and management to production and fulfillment. Our digital technology, combined with total document solutions and services that enable personalization and printing on demand, delivers value that improves our customers’ business results.
Through our industry-leading FreeFlow Digital Workflow collection and FreeFlow Print Server, we deliver three primary values to our customers – the ability to Connect, Control and Enable. Our solutions:
- Connect our customers to their customers 24/7, enabling them to be open for business around the clock.
- Control our customers’ costs, environmental impacts and security. Automated workflows provide extensive productivity gains and greatly increase document integrity by eliminating manual processes.
- Enable new applications and revenue streams such as photo books, secure event tickets and packaging.
