Automated Office Products: FMaudit

The hours and days it used to take to audit 1,000’s of networked devices can now be done within minutes. Automated can now audit networked printers in an entire office in just minutes with no software preinstalled. Print devices are automatically discovered on the network without any configuration required. FMAudit Viewer audits meter reads for prints, copies, faxes, and scans, in addition to serial numbers, toner coverage and much more.

The FMAudit Viewer combines real world device usage and status information with industry statistics for printer and copier life cycles, consumable costs, and dozens of other fields. This is the only true way to calculate Return-on-Investment (ROI), and Total-Cost-of-Ownership (TCO), since customer use may vary drastically from one location to another.

Side-by-Side reports compare multiple models from different manufacturers to better determine what product based on the customers usage history would better suit their needs, and be most cost efficient.
