PrintFleet Announces PrintFleet Enterprise
November 9, 2005
Ontario, Canada – PrintFleet Inc., an industry leading print management and assessment software vendor, recently announced their capability to fulfill the demands of dealers who require the ability to independently host and administer a remote print management software solution.
PrintFleet Enterprise, a self hosted version of PrintFleet Optimizer remote monitoring software, has recently been launched and successfully installed at various dealer sites. PrintFleet Enterprise is the ideal solution for large dealers who envision monitoring 5,000–100,000 printing devices at multiple customer sites. With PrintFleet Enterprise, dealers will maintain full physical control of their customers printing data, as it resides on their own PrintFleet Enterprise server. The benefits for Enterprise class dealers include the ability to offer their own custom branded solution and the option for data management integration into their existing back office accounting, billing and service dispatch systems.
"We have developed PrintFleet products based on industry standardized software architecture such as Microsoft® SQL Server, Windows® 2003 Server and Microsoft® .NET Framework," stated Norman McConkey, President of PrintFleet. "This offers valuable integration capabilities for our dealers."
"The Enterprise solution elevates PrintFleet to an entirely new level of development expertise," said McConkey. "PrintFleet Enterprise has allowed us to round out our product sets and offer various levels of our software, based on the specific print management and assessment needs of dealers and their customers."
Due to the architecture of the technology, dealers must work through a tailored PrintFleet Enterprise qualification process. This process ensures their capability to provide the resources required to successfully support and administer the Enterprise solution. Dealers must also undergo a 5 day onsite training workshop to aid them in proper execution of the product.
"PrintFleet Enterprise isn't for everyone," said McConkey, "but for dealers who are serious about independently hosting and maintaining their own print management software, the Enterprise package is ideal." PrintFleet lists three Enterprise installations and training workshops to date, with a specific target of additional installations within the coming quarter.
Allied Office Products, the nation's largest independent dealer of office products and services, has recently joined the PrintFleet Enterprise network. Initiating Enterprise under their brand name PrintMANAGEMENT onesolution™, Allied Office Products will offer their customers an end to end proactive solution which allows them to assess, deploy, manage and support their customers printing environments.
"Our decision of who to partner with for our print management software needs was made under careful consideration. After researching other competitor offerings, we feel the PrintFleet Enterprise solution is the most technically advanced and robust from a functionality standpoint," stated Bill McLaughlin, VP of Print Management and Data Center Solutions. "In our opinion it also has a cleaner, user friendly feel to it at the customer level, which obviously is extremely important when selling the solution in the field."
