The average person has no idea what Xerox even does anymore after so many acquisitions transformations and divestitures. Document solutions are a joke as a business model in this day and age, a relic of an earlier era when a perfectly adequate solution couldn't be cobbled together with an smartphone and a $35 server. It's time to just let the company get sold to whomever wants it.

Icahn is going to regret not taking the Fuji-Xerox deal.
Biggest problem with Docushare is no protectable IP. Yes Xerox could invest into DS work flow management capabilities and take back share from Microsoft and Documentum. But Microsoft could just copy those capabilities in a future SharePoint release and crush us. That's the big problem with the few pipe dream ideas John V. has spewed out. Intelligent packaging? Some awesome applicafions there. But what's to stop Amazon from investing 10X into that area and crushing us? Same with AI. Amazon already took one of PARC's top AI scientists to work on Alexa. Can't win if you don't invest.
"Tech powerhouse" is a snow job to get employees to stay in their seats on the Titanic while the Captain steers the ship to the salvage yard to be dismantled and sold for sc-ap.
That is very true. With JohnV talking about being a "Tech Powerhouse" and citing Docushare as one of those base technologies, we all know that he has no clue and zero ability to lead us anywhere, but the Auction House. Lipstick on a diseased pig. Docushare is defunct to the point that it was dropped from internal use in favor of SharePoint. Oh the irony of being so inept at what you claim to be competent at that you have to use outside services/offerings for your own needs.
