    Interesting, as I see more and more companies consolidating the decision process pertaining to output devices - instead of creating a new position or giving the autonomy to IT - BOTH facilities and IT are in the room working together.

    Very interesting. The Facilities person has been, in general, more "approachable" and more "human".

    very interesting...

    Greg, are you seeing success in that regards - for the companies I mean? We are seeing it all over the board, but have found most success driving the process with CFO's to this point - who IT and Facilities are more often reporting to than not.

    Well, at the C Levels, yes - the Team of Facilities and IT usually comes about through executive mandate. But, I have seen this relationship grow out of necessity. The IT Director approaches Facilities(or vice versa) to work together on a project. Copier fleet refresh, etc.

    It is very dynamic -
