Today I’m live-blogging from HP’s 2008 Annual Imaging and Printing Conference in San Diego. We have nearly 100 press and analysts in attendance, who will hear directly from HP about our offerings for the consumer, SMB, enterprise and graphic arts markets. At the keynote address, HP’s Executive Vice President of IPG, Vyomesh Joshi (VJ), talked about trends taking shape that are driven by the explosion of digital content, and how HP is providing greater options for our enterprise customers to boost productivity, security and environmental sustainability. VJ also talked about cool new partnerships with MTV and MySpace to drive their users to hit print and share content.

But since you’re reading the Enterprise Printing Blog, I’m focusing this entry on one of our newest Managed Printing Services customers, Viacom. We are honored to have Joe Simon, CIO, and Bob Roth, vice president of Strategic Services, from Viacom joining us at the conference. Working with HP, Viacom is projecting super savings of nearly 25 percent in imaging and printing costs over the next three years. In addition to the fantastic cost savings, Viacom’s new managed imaging and printing fleet from HP will provide a 50 to 60 percent increase in energy savings, reducing its carbon emissions associated with energy by more than 28 percent.

To follow the goings on at the conference in real time, check out our twitter feed – with the Twitter Station we’ve set up at the event, you never know who will drop in and make a tweet.
