A pair of the industry’s stalwart consolidators were back in action this past week with additions to their respective stables. Last Friday, UBEO Business Services snapped up ADS Imaging Solutions of Denver while DEX Imaging shopped locally, tabbing Copyforce Inc. (d.b.a. Gulf Business Sytems) of Sarasota, Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
