Industry-changing relationship will help dealers create more efficiency and savings for their customers<\/em><\/p>\n

Fort Worth, TX\u2014Wednesday, March 11, 2015 \u00a0ECi Software Solutions (www.ECiSolutions.com<\/a>), a leader in industry-specific information technology solutions, today announced the integration of user data information from Print Control Software\u2019s ROI Print Manager product with its FMAudit\u00ae Central\u2122 version 4.0 platform. This integrated solution gives dealers the ability to offer additional value to their customers\u2019 managed print\/document services (MPS\/MDS) programs. ROI Print Manager allows the capturing of the \u201cwho, what, when and where\u201d of end-user printing. By overlapping with the meter, service and supply information available in FMAudit and viewing everything in FMAudit Central, dealers will be able to deliver a higher level of customer service, streamline processes and increase their revenue.<\/p>\n

Historically, dealers have struggled with the manual process of trying to match the two disparate data sets\u2014metering information and user-level print data. This integration leverages a patent-pending process to combine the data sets, with typical matching results of higher than 90%. By combining user-level print management with printer device data collection software, the result is a robust solution that will assist dealers in the creation of an action plan to address and improve user workflow efficiency. Dealers will have the ability to migrate print volumes to printers identified as having a lower cost per page, resulting in increased profitability for dealers and savings for customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis integration could not have come at a better time for managed print services providers,\u201d said Shane Hannan, President of Print Control Software, Inc.\u00a0 \u201cDealers are looking for a simple solution for managing data, users and customers while increasing their revenue. As more government regulations come into force around data tracking and security, this will also provide a great opportunity for dealers to increase revenue by offering software solutions and services that will meet these requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFMAudit is very proud of our newest integration,\u201d said Kevin Tetu, ECi FMAudit President. \u201cWe are making it easier for dealers to provide their customers a comprehensive print assessment and sell the value of a full user and device solution.\u00a0 As our industry continues to evolve, we are setting the pace by providing innovative software tools to give our dealers the chance to be the first to sell a full end-user and device solution.\u201d<\/p>\n
