IT Naledi Solutions today announced that it has been appointed as an official Middle East and Africa distributor for Print Audit, a global leading print management company, in a move intended to expand the latter's services in the managed print services market to include both dealers and corporate end users.

"Using Print Audit for both device management in terms of automated meter readings, 'just in time' consumable supply chain and service status management and being able to provide extensive information on user printing habits, Print Audit can make significant changes to customer's printing costs, their environmental impact and their printing efficiency," commented Hashiem Bardien, Sales and Marketing Director at IT Naledi Solutions. "In addition, by exploiting Print Audit's Policy Manager, corporates or users with multiple printers from several vendors are able to implement policy decisions re the use of these devices in their own environments, regardless of whether these installations are in one or across several locations."

"Furthermore, Business Intelligence Tools are used to report on entire print environments on a 24/7 basis via easy-to-read Web-based KPI dashboards that include the ability to drill down into details with the click of a mouse or the tap of a stylus on a mobile device," continued Bardien. "By combining Print Audit's award-winning data collection tools and our highly skilled technical resources, users can now react quickly to changing conditions and make any critical business decisions that may be needed."

"We are excited about this new relationship with IT Naledi Solutions (ITN)," concluded Phil Madders of Print Audit Europe. "Having a leading ICT services company as a distributor in the Managed Print Services space is a massive boost in terms of the skills that are now available to this market."
