GreatAmerica Selects Print Audit as Additional FleetView Provider
Cedar Rapids, Iowa - May 2, 2013 - GreatAmerica Financial Services Corporation announced today that it has added Print Audit Premier as an offering under its FleetView brand of device remote monitoring and management. Previously powered by either PrintFleet or FM Audit, the FleetView expansion with Print Audit allows resellers to not only monitor devices, but also influence print behaviors through its rules-based structure. Additional functionality available to the end user includes built-in cost recovery capabilities, follow-me printing and secure print release.
“We began to see enthusiasm for rules-based tools that added more sophistication to our customers’ MPS programs,” said Jennie Fisher, Senior VP and General Manager for the GreatAmerica Office Equipment Group, and Board Member of the Managed Print Services Association. “MPS has evolved, and adding FleetView, powered by Print Audit, seemed like the best way for us to help the more advanced MPS providers become more effective in their approach,” she added.
FleetView, powered by Print Audit, allows office equipment dealers to proactively understand and improve the efficiency of their customers’ output environment, something Edwards & Virginia Business Systems, an MPS provider for over 10 years and a long-time GreatAmerica customer, has seen firsthand. “As our business has grown, we needed to find new ways to enhance our offering and bring additional value to our clients. Print Audit provided both the technology and marketing resources that enabled us to get closer to our clients’ current needs, while increasing operational efficiency and profit,” said Dexter Loeble, Senior Marketing Director for Edwards & Virginia Business Systems.
The Print Audit model is designed to help an MPS provider save its end-user clients’ money and provide additional features, but also turn a typical cost center into a revenue generator. By providing end users new benefits and value, office equipment dealers can charge a monthly fee, which grows their recurring revenue.
GreatAmerica has been active with MPS solutions for a decade, specializing in bundled billing and offering other nonfinancial services for its customers, like Collabrance managed IT services. They have offered hosted fleet monitoring solutions for more than seven years.
