Lexmark, now part of Xerox, builds cloud-enabled imaging and IoT technologies that help organizations turn everyday information into actionable outcomes. Its products combine imaging hardware with cloud software and IoT data collection to capture documents and sensor data, send it to cloud services, and apply analytics so users can make data-driven decisions and take timely actions. Compared with competitors, Lexmark benefits from Xerox’s scale, industry know-how, and an end-to-end approach that ties together devices, cloud platforms, and analytics rather than offering standalone hardware or software. The company’s goal is to accelerate business transformation by turning information into insights, data into decisions, and analytics into action for customers globally.
