award-winning Viewer USB™, OnSite™, WebAudit™, and Central™ products,
and Compass Sales Solutions the makers of the Compass System, which
includes the powerful Compass Opportunity Manager, announce an alliance
as technology partners.
The FMAudit Viewer USB is a Rapid Print
Assessment™ tool. It quickly and easily captures print asset information,
including, but not limited to, IP address, model, manufacturer, total
meters and much more. It requires little-to-no customer IT support,
and is non-intrusive to customers’ network and/or infrastructure.
Compass Opportunity Manager enhances
the performance and effectiveness of in-house and field sales teams
by keeping them informed and involved in every aspect of the sales cycle.
As the core of the Compass system, this application manages opportunities,
calculates the clients’ total cost of ownership, configures products
and generates financial scenarios. The end result is a proposal and
paperwork accurately configured and automatically generated.
Combined, FMAudit and Compass Sales
Solutions, address the growing customer-demand for an automated sales
proposal generation strategy. The process begins by quickly and easily
capturing data about the customers’ current print environment using
Viewer USB. Once the data has been collected, it is automatically formatted
for seamlessly inserted into the Compass Opportunity Manager software.
Users then run a TCO analysis and generate a proposal whereby illustrating
the value of embracing a new productive and cost effective print strategy.
”Most print strategies have evolved
rather than have been planned, resulting in unknown quantity and types
of assets, over- and under-utilization, and wasted money,” said
Rich Piper, President & CEO of FMAudit. “Using FMAudit is the first
step to assisting companies to be in command of their print environment.
Upon understanding of the customers’ evolved print strategy, users can
deliver a customer-centric proposal for productivity enhancements and
cost savings.”
“Studies show that over 50% of office
output runs through laser printers—even with connected MFP’s installed.
Now you can capture these profitable prints and turn them into a lucrative
service revenue stream,” states Troy Casper, President of Compass
Sales Solutions. “Compass Opportunity Manager synthesizes information
about your customers’ printer fleets and develops a simple cost per
page model that can double, triple and even quadruple gross profit per
customer.”

complete beginning-to-end, sales proposal generation package, whereby
enabling dealers to Fulfill the Digital Promise™. It establishes an
accelerated and professional engagement process resulting in incremental
revenue and margin capture of core products, as well as develops stronger,
