Hackensack, NJ – Buyers Laboratory LLC (BLI), the world’s leading independent evaluator of document imaging hardware and software, today announced its Winter 2012 “Pick” awards honoring the top-performing solutions evaluated in BLI's lab during the previous six months. SiteAudit 5.0, from Netaphor Software, was named “Outstanding Fleet Management Solution” by the editors of BLI. 

 

Netaphor SiteAudit is an integrated fleet-assessment and fleet-management platform that delivers audit tools and usage/service analytics for a wide range of output devices. Intended for use both by IT departments as well as managed print services (MPS) providers, the solution helps customers view print/copy volumes, maximize printer utilization, track compliance with Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and more. 

 

“For large businesses, printers, MFPs and their output are a major expense, and managing them can be a time-consuming task for the companies’ IT departments. For equipment dealers and other resellers, MPS can be a fast-growing business, providing a steady, recurring revenue stream as well as improved service to clients,” explained BLI Senior Product Editor Jamie Bsales. “Netaphor SiteAudit allows businesses to track and reduce output costs and can serve as the backbone of an MPS practice for resellers that want to do the same for clients.”

 

“Netaphor is honored to receive the BLI ‘Pick’ award for Outstanding Fleet Management Solution,” said Brian Anderson, sales and marketing vice president of Netaphor Software. “The award recognizes our strength in MPS solution development and certainly will serve to accelerate our goal of demonstrating comprehensive fleet management to potential partners and customers.”
