New Alliance Between Print Audit® And Sharp Offers Unique MPS Solution

Online, March 24, 2010 (Newswire.com) - CALGARY, ALBERTA (March 24, 2010) - Print Audit® and Sharp Electronics Corporation ("Sharp USA") have entered into an agreement, beginning a mutually beneficial relationship that will present the office equipment industry with a Managed Print Services (MPS) solution designed to help dealers increase profits while lowering their customers' print costs.

As part of the new agreement, Sharp USA will offer Print Audit's Print Audit 6 and Facilities Manager tools as a suite of products known as the RemoteFleet(SM) Print Management Solution. While Sharp dealers have been using Print Audit's products for several years, Sharp USA has decided to further the relationship based on success its dealers have experienced in the field.

"After an extensive evaluation of the best available print management products, Sharp chose Print Audit's tools for their outstanding reporting, support, and accuracy," said Sharp VP of Marketing, Mike Marusic. "We are confident that this distinctive MPS offering will separate us from competitors and help to win and keep new customers."

Armed with powerful cost-cutting abilities, the RemoteFleet(SM) Suite will give Sharp equipment dealers the capability to automate meter collection, simplify supplies management and help reduce equipment downtime. At the same time, the suite's print management capabilities will optimize customers' printing environments while helping to lower overall printing costs and minimize the environmental impact of their organization or business.

Each element of the RemoteFleet(SM) Suite will aid both dealers and customers in sustaining efficient and cost-effective print environments. For example, the Rules module of the RemoteFleet(SM) Suite gives companies the power to redirect print jobs from high-cost to more efficient devices. Furthermore, the RemoteFleet(SM) Analysis and Recovery modules enables companies to track virtually all of the printing in their offices, and charge users for their printing needs.

"We are thrilled about our agreement with Sharp," said John MacInnes, President and CEO of Print Audit. "Sharp USA fully understands the importance of offering a comprehensive print management solution which allows companies complete control over not only their printers, but also their users."

The RemoteFleet(SM) Suite is being deployed immediately to Sharp dealers nationwide. Please visit the following link for more information:
