Smarter Machines for Smarter Business

Printers, copiers and other multifunction devices require a certain amount of administration. And in the case of its high-end digital presses, customers need to ensure they to get the most productivity out of their specialized equipment. Successful Device Relationship Management (DRM) results in more uptime through more effective fixes and proactively spots maintenance issues before they become a business impediment. DRM simplifies administration through increased device availability, seamless billing and supplies ordering, and a new level of device information and control for the customer. This translates directly to:
  • Improved productivity
  • Timely and accurate communication/data exchange
  • Simplified business processes
  • Decreased overhead
  • Streamlined operation
Both large and small customers will benefit from these more advanced remote services. Predictive capabilities will allow increased uptime by scheduling needed machine service at the user's convenience. Integrated self-help tools and hotline support will allow users to recover quickly from errors that may otherwise become time-consuming. Finally, automated software downloads will enable the deployment of software upgrades at a time that's convenient to the user.
