BEI Services to Offer MPS Cost Control Solution from Preton

Wednesday, September 26th, 2012

Tel Aviv, Israel and Cody, WY (PRWEB) September 24, 2012

Preton, the leading provider of printing cost reduction software, and BEI Services, a leading provider of performance management and enhancement products and services, today announced the execution of a reseller agreement where BEI Services will offer Preton?s cutting edge software and technology to BEI?s extensive customer base.

Preton?s PretonSaver? software significantly reduces ink and toner usage without degrading end user print quality, provides a robust set of user focused reporting data, including page coverage calculations, and includes print policy enforcement to help end users manage costs. PretonSaver uses Preton?s core Pixel Optimizer? technology, which intelligently identifies and removes wasteful pixels during the printing process without visibly impacting quality. This toner optimization capability is critical for MPS providers as fixed toner costs represent a significant portion of their pricing structure.

?Preton offers a truly unique and compelling value proposition to both MPS providers and their customers. By partnering with a leading provider like BEI Services, we are able to jointly bring this value to the US market,? said Tim Bohn, Preton?s Vice President of North America Operations. ?As the MPS market grows increasingly competitive, managing ink and toner costs, which generally account for 60% to 70% of the cost of an MPS page, has become increasingly critical. PretonSaver can significantly reduce these costs, while also providing a more complete set of data, including page coverage information, and provide end users with the value add of print rules enforcement.?

?Managing toner costs has been extremely difficult until now. With Preton?s pixel optimization technology, the document is managed prior to the print device even receiving the page, which provides for exceptional image management,? explained Greg Moseley, CEO at BEI Services. ?Since Preton provides a scalable savings based on the type of document to be printed and the applications printing them, the end user output is better controlled, giving them high quality on important documents and lesser quality on low value or disposable prints. Added to this, BEI Services can merge the device level data to the actual parts and labor costs, which is not available anywhere else.?

Miracle Method Surface Refinishing on Top Low Cost Franchise List

Thursday, June 21st, 2012


Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) June 13, 2012

People may be surprised that among some of the most sought after franchises are those labeled as low cost opportunities. That?s the case with Miracle Method Surface Refinishing, who was just named by Franchise Business Review on their prestigious Top Low Cost Franchise List.

Miracle Method has a 32-year history of transforming ugly bathtubs, tile surrounds, vanity and kitchen countertop surfaces to like new without the mess and expense of removal and replacement. The company not only has thousands of satisfied homeowners as customers, but also major hotel chains, major colleges, hospitals, nursing homes and property management companies.

Miracle Method franchisees offer the promise of savings of up to 75% of the cost of replacing worn and ugly bathroom fixtures and kitchen and bath countertops by using their proprietary surface refinishing process. According to Chuck Pistor, President of Miracle Method, ?Many of our franchisees are looking for a recession resistant business and since saving money never goes out of style, they choose Miracle Method as a great business opportunity.?

Miracle Method?s double-digit growth in 2011 proved the company?s recession resistance. ?Over 80% of our franchises increased their sales over the previous year in spite of the depressed economy,? said Pistor. Miracle Method?s start up investment is as low as $ 83,000. New franchisees receive two weeks of technical training and a week of administration, sales and marketing training, the most in the industry.

?The training,? according to Pistor, ?is just the beginning. It?s our award winning and ongoing technical, marketing and administrative support that sets us apart and makes owning a Miracle Method franchise a great value.? Miracle Method has been recognized annually by Franchise Business review for Franchisee Satisfaction and is ranked #226 in Entrepreneur?s List of the Top 500 Franchises.
