Most Prevalent Third Party MPS Providers

Wow I was Just about to Pose the same question

this Ricoh press release had me wondering what tools are Ricoh Using? what makes Ricoh such a leader in the MPS world? does this count for Ikon too?

Yeah, That report does include IKON.

This is what I see for vendors:

1a) Xerox/Fuji Xerox
1b) HP
3) Ricoh/IKON
4) Canon/Oce
5) Lexmark
6) Toshiba
7) Pitney Bowes
8) Konica Minolta
9) Oki Data
Everyone Else) Samsung, Sharp, Kyocera Mita

But I am more specifically interested in the third party providers to the dealer community.

One thing we are looking at doing is using FMAudit as our monitoring/management software and Barrister for service. Toner and maintenance kits would most most likely come from a local distributor. In order to do this, you must be willing to cobble all of these pieces together, but it gives you more flexibility to be creative in your pricing than some of the canned approaches allow.

Well, what kind of info are you looking for? If you call them (Supplies Network, Barristers, etc.) up, they'll be glad to tell you how their program works.

If you have any specific questions, I might be able to help.

Thanks Jason.

I was just interested in who the most common full-service MPS providers were.

I'm sure many would agree that adding control software like pcs director or equitrac as part of the program is a huge benefit. As a percentage of mps proposals how often are people including one of these elements?
