The life of a business thrives in the minutia. Many correlating factors must combine in order to create a working office space, and those factors range from choosing the C.E.O. of a business, to picking the correct paper for the office printer. But what happens when businesses, eager in their desire to just “get started,” fail to take into account the small details that build an organization?
According to the people of Image 2000, well-meaning office managers can fall into an unfortunate spiral of paying sizeable amounts of money on “product redundancy, inefficient processes, multiple vendors” and costly service agreements that make up the necessary workings of an office. Businesses lose money on many smaller issues, thereby losing profit in the long run. A business owner may know that he or she needs a great copier, but do they take the time research the leading copiers and invest in a product suitable for their company? More often than not, the managers resort to the first big name brand that they see, and choose that model out of pure desperation. So what is the solution? The professionals at Image 2000 believe they have an innovative answer: workplace transformation. While businesses are concerned with the selling aspect, Image 2000 sheds light on the neglect that is occurring within the business, and the associates with Image 2000 provide “strategic direction” to give the specified company a plan and a hope for a better economic future. Their ultimate goal is to “design a solution that compliments your unique business model and contributes to your vision for future growth.” But who are the minds behind this revolutionary new tactic for office products?
Richard Campbell and Joe Blatchford decided to begin Image 2000 in 1991 after assessing an urgent need for California businesses to be properly supplied with the leading models in office copying products. As entrepreneurs, Campbell and Blatchford started the company by remanufacturing Xerox copiers and selling them to businesses for a reasonable price. Image 2000 has expanded from a single outlet with repurposed office products, to five offices on the West Coast that now offer brand new, high-end copier products.
The founders of Image 2000’s privately held company believe that their “vision to bring reliable, robust and cost effective document solutions to the SMB and Fortune 1000 community” has made it a fast growing, reputable business. The company’s great reputation allowed Image 2000 to become an authorized dealer for name-brand digital office products like Toshiba, Risograph, Sharp, Oce, and Kyocera.
Since hospitals, schools, and realtors utilize massive amounts of paper and copier supplies, they benefit the most from Image 2000’s excellent services. In our very own Santa Clarita Valley, Image 2000 works with the Henry Mayo Health Clinic to ensure that the hospital’s copiers and digital imaging systems are in full working capacity in order to have the best system for keeping track of all of the patients’ files.
Blatchford and Campbell emphatically state that, “Our loyalty is to our clients, and reliable technology.” It is no question, then, why this nationally recognized, imaging solutions and technology provider, received the coveted “Elite Dealer” award and even the “Dealer of the Year” award for eight separate years. With almost 100 full time employees and five locations, businesses can continue to expect exceptional copier and office management from the good people of Image 2000.
