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.

Ricoh continues lowering operating profit as they grow their digital services business. I question Ricoh's ambition to become a profitable digital services company! In this episode I dig deep into the metrics of Ricoh's Services.
Kyocera FY 2025 not their best year! In this recap I will share a very interesting metric. I will also discuss some of the opportunities I see for Kyocera. Nothing can remain as it once was and Kyocera could definitely disrupt what was once thought undisruptable.
Konica Minolta FY 24 another terrible year! I don't see any reason to believe that Konica Minolta is a serious about turning things around. It seems they are completely comfortably performing poorly! In today's episode I share my thinking regarding Konica Minolta.
Frank Cannata released part two of his conversation with Bob Goldberg regarding the Konica Minolta new dealer agreement. After watching part two I thought it necessary to take a trip down memory lane and ask some questions.
Sharp Smart Office 17% Increase in Revenues and hits 6.3% Operating Profit in segment. Best over all in Sharp's Brand Business Unit. The clean up in the Device Business Unit is moving along.
Brother had a huge drop in operating profit ratio in the 4th qtr of 2024 I looked back to 2016 at 36 Qtrs. Other than 3 qtrs. which were impacted by one offs or impairment charges FY 24 4th Qtr was the worst over that 9 year 36 qtr period of time. I don't believe Brother is aggressive enough in actually disrupting the A3 Marketplace and I believe they could if they had a true bold mindset!
Rumors can be the peephole in the door leading to reality! Today's episode is my satirical version of print industry rumors!
I don't see how Bob Goldberg, working for OEMs, can benefit dealers' interests. Bob Goldberg is not the BTA Lawyer he retired and if OEMs engage Bob Goldberg that engagement should not be presented as an engagement through the benefits of BTA dealer members - I believe the Konica Minolta executive was too vague in her description of the retired BTA Lawyer's blessing.
Traveling through disruption is not about surrounding yourself with who and what is comfortable; disruptions are about destroying that which is comfortable.
Based on what I read in this press release, I disagree with the opinion of the retired BTA council.
The BTA is approaching its one hundredth anniversary and its current president Adamy Gregory and I sat down to discuss his tenure as president, the changes over the last year and we also addressed the question regarding the retired BTA lawyer and his statements on the new Konica Minolta Agreement. Adam, made it clear that the retired BTA Lawyer's blessing of the Konica Minolta New Dealer Agreement has nothing to do with the BTA or its current legal advisor. Adam & I wrapped up the episode discussing the exciting upcoming BTA Meeting in New Mexico. I am looking forward to the event and seeing all my industry friends.
