CALGARY, ALBERTA (April 7, 2009) – In 2008, Print Audit 5 helped companies around the world save 190,000 trees, recover $150 million, and redirect half a billion pages to more efficient print devices. Now print management company Print Audit is releasing the next version of its popular flagship product, Print Audit 6, which will give companies even greater control over every document produced in their environment.
“Our waste has decreased to less than approximately 8% and paper usage in total is now under control. I estimate Print Audit has reduced our cost of operation to one quarter of what it used to be, all this has easily been worth the price of admission,” said George Herrera with the University of Texas.
Armed with hundreds of new features, enhancements, and improvements, this new print management solution was developed based on customer feedback.

New Print Audit Offer Guarantees Office Equipment Dealers Sell More Hardware
CALGARY, ALBERTA (February 19, 2009) – Print Audit long ago discovered a simple truth: knowing about a customer’s print volumes and environment helps dealers sell more hardware. This week, the print management company announced the new Guaranteed Deal Package, which will help new dealers improve their sales with the industry’s premier assessment tool, the Print Audit Assessor. The package features a money-back guarantee if the tool does not lead to a sale.
Print Audit Assessor provides dealers with a 60 day print tracking capability that may be used to conduct thorough assessments of customers’ print environments. The data collected from this process illustrates a clear picture of how potential customers are utilizing their current equipment by answering critical workflow questions such as who is printing, what printers are being used, what documents are being printed and the size of each job.
“In these tough economic times many companies are examining every department and cost center for opportunities to streamline and save. Many organizations know that there is potential to increase printing efficiency, but don’t know enough about their print environments to make effective changes,” said John MacInnes, President and CEO of Print Audit. “The Print Audit Guaranteed Deal Package lets office equipment dealers help their customers pinpoint significant cost saving opportunities.”
Customers Give Print Audit An “A” In Technical Support
CALGARY, ALBERTA (February 2009) – Even when Print Audit was a small home basement operation, offering outstanding customer service was a top priority. A decade later, with offices now spanning five continents, the print management solutions company has remained dedicated to its core competency, from regularly collecting customer feedback to having real people greet callers in lieu of automated voices. This week, the company released customer survey data that suggests that their commitment to excellent customer service produces results: those using Print Audit’s products and services rated the company’s technical support at 93 percent over the past six months.
Receiving such high customer satisfaction ratings consistently over an extended period of time is a rare achievement, especially the area of technical support. Print Audit credits its strong customer service and support program to heightened, ongoing communication with customers and to using a system called Net Promoter that utilizes user surveys to improve both products and services.
