Print Audit

Buyers Laboratory Inc. (BLI), the world’s leading independent evaluator of document imaging products and solutions, has announced its Summer 2010 “Pick” winners honoring outstanding document imaging software solutions. BLI’s prestigious “Pick” awards acknowledge the top-performing document imaging solutions evaluated in BLI's lab during the previous six months. The Print Audit Rapid Assessment Key v2, from Print Audit, has been named Outstanding Output Assessment Solution by the editors at BLI.

“Document imaging solutions are proving to be the lifeblood of the industry,” noted BLI Managing Editor Daria Hoffman. “From the capture solutions that digitize and route hardcopies to the management software that helps customers retrieve files to the assessment and print management tools that enable a dealer to deliver managed print services, these solutions help resellers engage and retain customers in an environment where hardware alone has been a tough sell.”

Speedy, Accurate Device Assessment from Print Audit

In BLI’s labs-based tests, Print Audit’s Rapid Assessment Key v2 proved to be an easy-to-use USB device designed to give equipment resellers an at-a-glance view of an organization’s document imaging hardware, as well as the meter counts of and general information about discovered devices.

“The Rapid Assessment Key v2 is a class-leading output assessment solution,” said BLI Associate Editor Carl Schell. “This handy tool helps provide resellers with basic yet powerful information about an organization’s fleet—no matter how big—and the volumes the devices produce. In turn, resellers can digest the data and offer up ways to streamline or reposition the business’ imaging equipment to help reduce costs associated with document output.” continue reading...
