For those of you who are not
familiar with Print Audit, its primary product is software for tracking
print-output generated on small-format printers and copiers and on large-format
plotting devices. Not altogether
different from products offered by Argos’ Sepialine and by ARC’s AbacusPCR (the
latter two products are well known, and widely used, in the reprographics
industry and are used by reprographers who place equipment at A&E firms.) All that said, when I was active in the
reprographics business – promoting and selling “OnSite” services - I came
across Print Audit only once, at an Architecture firm in Nashville, TN.
From Print Audit’s web-site,
here’s “the page” that shows what Print Audit says to appeal to Architecture
and Engineering firms:
“For many of today’s architecture and engineering firms,
printing and plotting remains an unnecessary cost center. Firms that are using Print
Audit 6 to automatically track and bill for all of their document creation
expenses are saving countless hours of time, and recapturing thousands of
dollars per month in printing and plotting costs.”

screen shot of a pop-up window, where you’ll see the information PA’s software
tracks:
Print Audit acquires NeoStream
Technologies, Inc.
Acquisition announced on December
6, 2016:
The acquisition will
allow Print Audit and its Premier Members to fully manage a customer’s document
workflow for printed and digital content as well as provide full intranet and
communications capabilities.
NeoStream capabilities will be rolled out initially in North America with
International rollout at a later date.
"When we announced that we were
here to save the office equipment industry, we meant it,” stated John MacInnes,
President at Print Audit. "Customer workflow is transforming. How they
share information internally and with the world at large is transforming. Print
Audit is transforming and we’re helping our Premier Members to do the same. The
acquisition of NeoStream Technologies will ensure that our Premier Members have
the opportunity to manage and monetize the entire document lifecycle, printed
or not.”
Printed documents per user are in a slight year over year decline
while digital content is experiencing exponential growth. A single source for
the management of printed and digital documents will help streamline and
simplify the end user experience while providing additional revenue
opportunities to providers.
Print Audit led the market with the first SBB (Seat Based Billing)
offering for managed print and the NeoStream acquisition is the next step in
its commitment to save the office equipment industry through transformation.
“Everybody at NeoStream is excited about the acquisition and we are
looking forward to bringing our offering to an entirely new set of customers,”
stated Sean Halliday, Founder of NeoStream Technologies. “We see the lines
between digital documents and printed documents blurring and believe that
customers will benefit enormously by having a one-stop shop for the combined
tools and solutions.”
Existing NeoStream customers will experience the same
great levels of service and support that they are accustomed to. Print Audit
Premier members will have the opportunity to offer NeoStream’s solutions
exclusively and at a discounted rate for a limited time by upgrading to Premier
Plus. The NeoStream solutions lineup is not included in the standard Premier
membership and details about Premier Plus will be provided upon request.
