Burns has been pushing for a better way to utilize the partner channel, something that they have had trouble competing against companies like HP and Lexmark, but with new releases of their products, along with a better transparency they have been able to transform themselves and have been receiving praise from companies in the IT channel. NSI president, Tom McDonald praised Xerox at their last press conference,

“They’ve done an excellent job rolling this stuff out to the partner community,” said Tom McDonald, “They listened to the channel and they took action. Xerox is giving us an opportunity to go out and talk to new customers now. This is like a hunting license from them.”
