MELVILLE, N.Y. -- (Business Wire)
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.”
