From the IRgA Group on Linked in,
I’ve copied off a message – to all reprographers - from the President of the
IRgA (Kimberly Long, CEO at Reprodux Copy Centres):
“The joint
ERA/IRgA convention this year is really shaping up to be the reprographic
industry’s must attend event!”
“The conference will feature the
return of the Bukovsky award, recognizing leaders in the Reprographic industry,
as well a renowned keynote speaker Paul Doherty from the AIA. Paul will
enlighten us on how the reprographics industry has been entrusted with the
“digital DNA” of the built environment, and is poised to play a vital role in
the dramatic changes now reshaping the AEC industry.
Please join us in
Baltimore on April 3-5 to learn more!”
And, this next
message is one that appears on the IRgA Today web-site, it is a message to you
from Paul Doherty and from Ed Avis, Managing Director of the IRgA, about the
presentation Paul Doherty will be giving at the upcoming convention in
Baltimore:
“Core competencies of document management, project lifecycle, document/data
processing and delivery, communication equipment, and traditional printing can
be leveraged to meet the AEC market demands while providing valued services
that can increase [the reprographic industry’s] bottom line,” Doherty says.
Doherty is the president and CEO of the digit group, inc., a global leader of
cloud-based solutions for the built environment. His current work is
implementing Smart City solutions throughout the world. He is the co-founder of
the critically acclaimed AEC Hackathon, which launched at Facebook headquarters
in Silicon Valley in November 2013.
Doherty will explain essential advances in AEC – such as big data, data
visualization, smart buildings, and smart cities – and how the reprographics
industry can contribute. He will include case studies of projects from around
the world.
“The reprographics industry is challenged to control, manage, and lead these
new transformative processes or relegate itself as just another commoditized
service in the AEC market,” Doherty says.
The ERA/IRgA convention will include a full day of educational programming
designed to help reprographics businesses capitalize on these developments.

If, as the lead-in to Paul Doherty implies,
Paul is going to reveal the key services that Reprographers must offer in the
future to remain relevant to the
A/E/C industry and to increase revenues
and profits, why would any Reprographer not want to attend?!!!!
