TEASRA is led by Ray Stasieczko, an industry veteran with over 30 years of expertise. A pioneer of Managed IT and Managed Print services, Ray owned and operated dealerships, and served in many senior leadership roles in the office technology industry. Out of his successful career, he founded TEASRA in 2018.
My vision for TEASRA, The Innovation Channel, was born of this thought. "A company becomes obsolete when they focus on delivering the past to the future instead of delivering the future to the present." It’s only through collaboration and a willingness to look where others do not, which eventually separates the innovators from those stuck in the status quo.

I believe Fujifilm has a great opportunity to dominate the industry but that domination won't happen without boldness! Fujifilm should buy the assets of Konica Minolta! That would put Fujifilm in great position as a major disrupter with revenues approaching that of Canon.
I discuss Brother's 1st 9 months and how they might benefit by joining ETRIA!
HP Inc is declining in the print business and seems to be distracted in AI buzzwords in the personal system business unit! How long till HP's declining print revenues cause a massive profitability problem?
I share the numbers and highlight Toshiba's path towards improving profitability in comparison to Ricoh becoming less profitable!
The U.S. CEO of Konica Minolta Gives a presentation in the desert! What the hell is the least of my thoughts! Also Big NEWS from Visual Edge IT - Another senior Leader exits! Stay tuned for another episode with more details coming soon!
In this episode I discuss OKI and why based on their numbers I can see them exiting all print! They started with transferring their Thailand print manufacturing business to ETRIA. OKI has many deliverables past print they could focus on and grow. Being as small as OKI is, I don't see them growing a print business in a massively declining industry.
In this episode I discuss why all the industry’s OEMs must be vigilant to the importance of profitability. Kyocera has exemplified a stewardship towards profitability. That discipline has put them in a great position to weather the storms of disruption. Delivering low operating profit is never good. However, during disruptions it's an occasional inevitable. As the industry continues under pressure it will be those with consistent discipline who will prevail.
Why does Ricoh perform so terribly especially in their Digital Services Business unit? The first 9 months of FY 24 the Digital Services business unit produced Over 9 Billion dollars in revenues with an operating profit of less than one percent! This happens nearly every quarter. Ricoh is proving to the world that they can not delver offices services profitable! I ask, WHY? Another question is, Do they even care? It really seems they don't!
It is not too far-fetched to visualize HP Inc. and DEX Imaging acquiring the remaining U.S. direct operations along with All Covered, as most are expecting Konica Minolta to be liquidated due to years of mismanaged financial stewardship.
When the foundation of an organization's culture is forged in accountability, that organization will come together and accomplish incredible things.
How much unaccountability is the industry willing to ignore? Shouldn't the industry's actors finally admit that (Pandering over Performance) has run its course?
The print industry needs consolidation! What will Fujifilm do to disrupt the dealer channel? Is Fujifilm ready to speed up its actions? Tune in to my conversation with Andrew Gunn.
In today's episode Chris Polek of Polek & Polek and I share thoughts on the benefits to the dealers profitability when dealers are strategic in replacing OEM toner with non-oem toner! As the industry continues being disrupted by digitalization dealers must decide which OEMs are vulnerable and then strategically start eliminating the purchasing of the vulnerable OEM's supplies. In this episode we share numbers regarding the potential savings replacing Konica Minolta MFP toner with Polek & Polek toner! It's big dollars - too much for dealers to ignore!
