Calgary, Alberta – San Antonio, Texas (May 3, 2010) – Preo Software, the market leader in Print Knowledge Management Systems, today announced the Printelligence™ MPS Solutions Suite, designed to meet the unique needs of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM's), channel MPS-providers and IT-Managed Services companies who provide managed print services to their channel or end-user clients.
Using a process called Print Optimization 2.0, Printelligence MPS delivers a comprehensive end-to-end solution to assess and manage end-user print behavior. This includes capturing key end-user, local-printer, print server and area coverage data cost-effectively, tasks that historically have been a challenge for service providers. It enables MPS service providers to develop a highly flexible change-management service for clients who want to gain control of print usage at the end-user level, resulting in significant cost-savings and increased efficiencies, without negatively affecting end-user productivity. Printelligence™ MPS Solutions Suite provides OEMs and large channel aggregators a seamless way to integrate into their existing managed-print back offices, thus enabling MPS providers to manage installations remotely using real-time data.
Built on the award winning Printelligence architecture, Preo's MPS offering will be available in two configurations.
Printelligence™ MPS is the complete solution for implementing a comprehensive Print Optimization 2.0 service from assessment to print behavior change management and reporting. This offering also includes the multi-tiered "federation" of data, a critical requirement for MPS providers to remotely manage large numbers of customers often with multiple sites, in multiple channels.
Printelligence™ MPS-Assessment, designed for the 'silent' capture of baseline user-centric print behavior data. It is intended for both pre-sale engagements as well as ongoing data-collection and reporting, and can be seamlessly upgraded to the complete solution. This solution is available in a print server 'only' and /or desk-top configuration for mass deployment capability.
"Based on feedback from industry leaders, OEMs and successful channel MPS entities, and the experience of installing our technology in more than 1,000 locations, we believe Printelligence™ MPS addresses a major unmet need in the market. We have the ability to very quickly add value to many of the industry's most significant MPS players in a way that none of our competitors can" said Pravat Mazumdar, Vice President Business Development, Preo Software.
"Coming at a time when there is a rapidly growing interest from customers in managed print services, and particularly in what we call Stage 3 engagements, Preo's MPS solutions bring a unique new value to MPS providers and their clients by delivering state-of-the-art flexibility in effectively managing end-user print behavior" commented Ed Crowley, CEO of the Photizo Group and organizer of MPS 2010, the industry's leading forum for Managed Print.
Printelligence™ MPS Solutions Suite will be marketed worldwide to MPS providers, and will not be sold directly to end-user customers. It will be available beginning next quarter.
