Xerox Corporation is the world’s leading document management company. The company website says Xerox offers “true end-to-end solutions, from back-office support to the printed page”. It was founded in 1906 as the Haloid Photographic Company, which manufactured photographic paper and equipment. In 1959, it shot to fame when it introduced the world’s first photocopier. It changed its name to Xerox. Its copiers became so commonplace around the world that the word ‘xerox’ became a verb and entered the Oxford English Dictionary. This is something Xerox says breaches its copyright. Today, it makes printers, copiers and other office equipment and offers business services that include document management consulting expertise. The company employs 130,000 worldwide and brings in around $20 billion in revenue.
