Scottsdale, AZ (Nov. 11, 2025)<\/em> \u2014 Stramaglio Consulting today announced that Crickets Continuum, a forward-thinking consortium uniting the copier and office equipment channel with robotics and automation manufacturers, has joined The Consortium, a think tank of imaging industry leaders focused on helping the channel grow and thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crickets Continuum is a pioneering organization founded by industry veterans Art Post, Greg Walters and Kevin Neal. The Continuum\u2019s mission is to help office technology dealers transition from traditional print-based business models to next-generation opportunities in office-ready robotics, automation, and AI-driven services. Through collaboration with robotic OEMs, leasing partners, and technology innovators, the Crickets Continuum bridges the gap between today\u2019s office technology and print dealers and tomorrow\u2019s robotics integration channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a new member of The Consortium, Crickets Continuum brings its unique perspective on channel evolution, helping dealers reimagine their value through innovative billing and service models such as cost-per-task (CPT), cost-per-linear-foot (CPLF) for mobile robots, and cost-per-time-travel (CPTT) for humanoid and service robots. These new metrics modernize the industry\u2019s traditional \u201ccost-per-page\u201d model, giving dealers a measurable way to monetize robotic performance, mobility, and time-based efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Consortium embodies what our industry needs most, collaboration, innovation, and a vision for what\u2019s next,\u201d Post said. \u201cCrickets Continuum is honored to join this group of leaders shaping the future beyond the printed page.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Consortium was founded by Mike Stramaglio, president and CEO of Stramaglio Consulting, in order to establish an open collaborative platform that enables the imaging channel to embrace and lead digital transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t about leaving print behind; it\u2019s about carrying our legacy forward into robotics, automation, and authentic intelligence,\u201d Stramaglio said. \u201cCrickets Continuum shares that vision perfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
