Scottsdale, AZ, Burlington, MA and Nuremberg, Germany – Paessler AG, the innovative network monitoring solutions specialist, and MWA Intelligence, Inc. (MWAi) recently announced the formation of a strategic partnership under which Paessler will provide a “private edition” of its PRTG Network Monitor software to MWAi. The Scottsdale, AZ-based real-time information managed print services (MPS) solutions provider will offer PRTG as part of its full service and software portfolio to its imaging industry reseller channel.
 
The agreement, which the companies will formally roll out at the Las Vegas Managed Print Summit and World Expo July 17-19, enables MWAi to offer its resellers a private edition of PRTG Network Monitor. This will facilitate the transition from Managed Print Services to Managed Network Services seamlessly.
