AMERICAN
PRINTWARE AND FMAUDIT ANNOUNCE TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIP
Alignment Helps Customers Bridge the Gap from Assessment
to Intelligent Job Routing
San Juan Capistrano, CA, - April 12, 2007 – American PrintWare,
Inc. (APWI), a leading supplier of Printer Network management
software, and FMAudit, LLC, an industry leader and provider
of Managed Print Services solutions, officially announce
an alliance as technology partners. The strategic arrangement
delivers a logical and seamless progression between FMAudit’s
data collection tools, and APWI’s newly announced RoutXpress,
for Windows networks.
FMAudit’s award-winning Viewer USB™ ‘Rapid Print Assessment™’
tool and WebAudit™, the most-non-intrusive data collection
utility (100% browser-based; no key to plug-in, no software
to install), quickly and easily capture print asset information.
Data includes multiple meters (like mono, color, print,
copy, fax & scan) & toner coverage, and delivers
invaluable reporting tools for corporate planning and implementation
of a more cost effective and productive print strategy.
They require little-to-no customer IT support, and are non-intrusive
to customers’ networks and/or infrastructure.
Within FMAudit’s solutions, a highly valuable report is
‘Over- and Under-Utilized Assets’. It quickly recognizes
individual problematic print devices and delivers an overall
illustration of the current print environment upon which
improvements can be made. A logical next step is to implement
a management utility to better utilize the existing print
assets. APWI’s RoutXpress is such a tool.
RoutXpress allows the network administrator to establish
and set the rules that they wish to govern and manage all
the print jobs on their network. The rules can be modified,
added to, or eliminated at any time. The rules will govern
the intelligent routing service provided by RoutXpress.
Automatic routing when a printer is busy printing a large
job, out of paper, out of toner, or if there is a paper
jam, just to name a few.
RoutXpress’ network management tools also provide for Alert
Messages, such as IM and E-Mails to be sent according to
network conditions. For example; if RoutXpress sends a print
job to a better printer an IM is sent to the user notifying
them which printer their print job was sent to, if a printer
runs out of paper or toner – an email is sent to the appropriate
person, if the printer is down or offline – an email can
be sent to the on-site service person’s Blackberry alerting
them to which printer is down. Remember, even though a printer
may be down, and RoutXpress is alerting the appropriate
person, it is also routing all print jobs intended for the
down printer to a printer that is up and running.
“The combination of FMAudit’s Viewer USB and/or WebAudit
and APWI’s RoutXpress will provide our resellers with a
complete solution that will be easy to install and setup”,
stated Bob Meyer, VP of Sales and Marketing for APWI. “FMAudit’s
Rapid Print Assessment will provide the cost assessment
information that will result in the customer wanting a network
print management tool, and RoutXpress is that tool”. “We
see this relationship as another key step toward our goal
of being the go-to supplier to all resellers that want to
truly offer “Total Solutions” to their customers”.
