Xerox Holdings Corporation (/ˈzɪərɒks/, ZEER-oks) is an American corporation that sells printer, digital document products and services in more than 160 countries.[3] Xerox was the pioneer of the photocopier market, beginning with the introduction of the Xerox 914 in 1959,[4] so much so that the word xerox is commonly used as a synonym for photocopy.[5] Xerox is headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, though it is incorporated in New York[6] with its largest group of employees based around Rochester, New York, the area in which the company was founded. As a large developed company, it is consistently placed in the list of Fortune 500 companies.[7]
The company purchased Affiliated Computer Services for $6.4 billion in early 2010.[8] On December 31, 2016, Xerox separated its business process service operations, essentially those operations acquired with the purchase of Affiliated Computer Services, into a new publicly traded company, Conduent. Xerox focuses on its document technology and document outsourcing business, and traded on the NYSE from 1961 to 2021, and the Nasdaq since 2021.[9]
Researchers at Xerox and its Palo Alto Research Center invented several important elements of personal computing, such as the desktop metaphor GUI, the computer mouse[10] and desktop computing.[11] The concepts were adopted by Apple Inc. and later Microsoft.
