New Service Offerings Help Streamline Business
Operations for Resellers
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today
announced enhancements to its imageCLASS Printonomics®, a
managed print services (MPS) program. Through the Company’s new
collaboration with PrintFleet LINK™, a managed print software and
solutions program, and wholesale distributor Supplies Network,
participating Canon imageCLASS resellers can quickly subscribe to
new value-add services that can help streamline ordering processes,
reduce operating costs and maximize services for their
customers.
“The imageCLASS Printonomics program has a unique place in the
market as Canon strives to help empower resellers to meet the needs
of their customers and structure their MPS programs accordingly,”
said Chris McFarlane, CEO, PrintFleet. “We look forward to our
continued collaboration with Canon U.S.A. as we work together to
help streamline the overall MPS process.”
The new services offered through the Printonomics program can be
accessed by using the PrintFleet LINK web services tool.
Participating resellers can now have supplies auto-fulfilled and
delivered in a cost-optimized manner, access to a web portal called
My Printer Manager for the tracking of those supplies, purchase
consumables on a cost-per-image (CPI) basis, and access to a
third-party break-fix service fulfillment network for the
management of select non-Canon devices. Supplies Network is the
wholesale distributor for this service.
“Canon and Supplies Network are working together on the
Printonomics program to help reduce the challenges a reseller may
experience in operating a MPS program,” said Sarah Custer, MPS and
equipment solutions manager, Supplies Network. “Automating and
outsourcing these processes will help resellers focus on business
goals – prospecting into new customers and maximizing their value
delivery to existing customers – all while collecting a reliable,
profitable and perhaps new revenue stream.”
These enhancements complement the services the Printonomics
program already offers, including the gapTCO (total cost of
ownership) proposal software tool from gap intelligence. This
tool helps participating resellers quickly deliver data-driven
professional recommendations to their customers, including
head-to-head product assessments, pricing options for hardware and
consumables and cost-savings benefits. Resellers can also easily
import Printonomics fleet assessment information into the gapTCO
tool and quickly provide savings analysis of a proposed optimized
fleet over the customer’s current fleet of devices. Additionally,
resellers who start their own MPS program through Printonomics will
be eligible to apply for a CompTIA Managed Print Trustmark at a
special discount.
“Canon’s imageCLASS Printonomics program is intended to make MPS
manageable and profitable for participating resellers,” said
Junichi Yoshitake, senior vice president and general manager,
Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “Our expanded
program will now offer enhanced methods to sell hardware, manage
consumables and deliver services. We are confident these
enhancements will help resellers implement or improve their MPS
program and give them the tools needed to meet their customer’s
needs.”
