MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., June 27, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OKI Data Americas announces the growth of its Managed Print Services (MPS) program within the channel through the expansion of the OKI Total Managed Print™ (TMP) Portal. The cloud-based TMP Portal now features a flexible suite of nine brand agnostic and proprietary services that can be tailored to compliment and supplement any solution provider's MPS model – whether new or existing. The Portal is free of charge to OKI channel partners, and provides a comprehensive toolkit including best practice methods for assessing, monitoring and optimizing print fleet management for organizations large or small.
OKI's TMP Portal has been expanded to include a number of enhanced features for MPS solution providers through the addition of many practical and easy-to-use tools. Such tools were developed to help increase productivity, streamline processes, and yield maximum efficiencies for solution providers and customers, alike. The Portal's nine individual components offer even greater functionality to provide solution providers with the tools necessary to engage in a successful MPS program. The employment of OKI's TMP Portal facilitates the customer engagement, relationship management and retention processes, and helps solution providers realize predictable and ongoing revenue streams while saving customers money.
"Deployment of Managed Print Services in the workplace can save businesses money on operating costs, increase overall operating efficiencies, and allow employees to be more productive – all of which are particularly desirable given the current economic landscape," said Tim Brien, Director of Managed Print Services for OKI Data Americas. "With the rapid growth of MPS, solution providers recognize the need for a comprehensive and turnkey solution – like Total Managed Print™ powered by OKI – that will provide them with a distinct advantage within the competitive MPS environment."
The OKI TMP Portal provides unbiased recommendations for print optimization across all brands and technologies, no matter the product mix. Furthermore, the Portal is fully modular and scalable solution, allowing solution providers to take advantage of all nine modules of the Portal, or use only those components that meet their specific needs. All this is available as a ready-to-use, complimentary program for OKI channel partners, and is backed by OKI's expertise in developing award-winning printing solutions and providing exceptional customer service.
