What Our Services Will Do For You
Admin/Finance Managers
Spend much, much less and get more
There are literally hundreds of thousands (if not millions)
of dollars in savings on the table waiting to be claimed. And
you can harvest these savings without investing in new hardware,
software or additional head count. All infrastructure is provided
by Optimizon and there is only nominal, up-front expense as
our fees come out of the savings we capture for you.
Zero risk
Optimizon guarantees the savings we project. And if for some
reason, we are unable to deliver the guaranteed 30% ROI (which
has never happened), our fees will be reduced until we do. In
short, you have nothing to lose.
Perhaps most important, these savings are not conditioned on
your users doing more with less. Or giving up capabilities.
Or dealing with rationed fleet resources. In fact, it’s
just the opposite. Uptime and productivity actually increase
because our right-sizing model gives users the capabilities
and horsepower they need to do the job right. Our intensive,
proactive management helps prevent breakdowns before they happen,
further improving uptime.
Finally, Optimizon ensures your contracts have bulletproof
provisions for enforcement of vendor responsibilities. If printer/copier/service
providers don’t live up to the contracts, there are terms
in place to ensure a quick and efficient remedy.
Procurement / Purchasing Managers
World-class online RFP process
Drastically cut the time you spend on research, vendor presentations,
phone calls, emails and sifting through proposals. Optimizon’s
online RFP process automates procurement tasks to slash the
time you spend on copier and printer purchases. All vendor bids
are centralized in one document that you access with a web browser.
Sort, analyze and compare bids with a few clicks of a mouse.
For larger purchase contracts (e.g., 100 or more units), you
can cut the entire purchase cycle by weeks or even months and
save countless hours.
Best possible price and terms
The Optimizon competitive bidding process compels vendors
to put their best offer forward so you get the optimum price
every time. And with Optimizon’s expert help, you can
further ensure that all service, support and maintenance terms
are written in your favor (most “standard” contracts
are weighted in the vendor’s favor).
A better way to work without changing the way you work
Does a department head want a comparison between two machines
he’s considering? No problem. With a few clicks of the
mouse, you can pull together and print a detailed report. New
machines introduced after the bid has been awarded? Not an issue.
Vendors simply update their contract with costs, speeds and
feeds, duty cycles, etc. of the new products so that current
information is always at your fingertips. And this “living”
Optimizon RFP process can support any approved vendor list or
state purchase contract requirements, so you don’t have
to change how you work.
IT / IS Managers
Focus on higher value IT projects, not daily printer/copier
fleet management
All too often, immediate demands and daily emergencies interrupt
higher-value IT work. But it doesn’t have to. You can
offload print management
and printer lease management
onto Optimizon and focus on strategic, important projects. Imagine
being relieved of a multitude of print responsibilities, like
evaluating the constantly changing parade of hardware solutions.
Or analyzing the service offerings of five different vendors.
Optimizon does all this and more to provide welcome relief for
overworked IT staffs.
Optimizon ensures compatibility and standardization
Optimizon makes sure that only machines that are compatible
with your environment can be procured, reducing help desk calls
caused by maverick machines. Further, by enforcing standardization,
we help reduce fleet complexity and simplify support issues
in the print space for IT.
Contain staff head count
Printer/copier fleets can create incredible demands on staffing
and budgets. But with Optimizon enforcing the purchase of standardized,
compatible solutions, you can reduce the amount of time you
spend on resolving printer/ copier issues and prevent staff
headcount from ballooning. And that’s one less headache
you have to deal with.
