VersaIMAGE Targets SMB Market with Recession-Proof Document IMAGE Management Software (DIMS) Solution
Friday 04. July 2008 - During economic slowdowns smart business owners find new ways to mine their customer base for additional business opportunities. An excellent add-on for office imaging dealers and IT VAR's is to sell VersaIMAGE-GOLD/SMB document imaging solutions for immediate productivity and cost improvements.
“Most Small and Medium sized Businesses (SMB) know that document imaging solutions exist,” says Alex Brunner, CEO of VersaIMAGE. “However, due to the past good business climate many small businesses were too busy to implement them or they found the solutions too expensive because vendors were offering high-end solutions that small businesses could ill afford.”
Brunner continues: “Multi-function devices and networked scanner/copiers can now be easily connected with the VersaIMAGE-iQ(TM) module to move document images automatically into the VersaIMAGE-GOLD/SMB(TM) document management solution for automated image management.”
“VersaIMAGE Software offers unique SMB pricing solutions for VAR’s providing unmatched profit margins while still offering absolute affordability,” says Michelle Shepard, Southern Regional Manager and Director of OEM Sales. “VersaIMAGE-GOLD/SMB comes fully bundled, eliminating a common source of costly add-on’s surprises for SMB prospects.”
The company offers single-user, network installs and web-hosted imaging solutions that may be branded and implemented by VAR’s for their clients. The OEM customized branding feature allows VersaIMAGE VAR’s to offer imaging software under their own software label providing sole source identity.
VersaIMAGE users span the entire spectrum of paper-intensive businesses and applications covering medical health care facilities including physician offices; financial institutions including community banks, credit unions, insurance agencies and mortgage companies; manufacturing and transportation companies; and, of course, local, city and state governments.
VersaIMAGE is low-cost, versatile (hence its name) and extremely simple to operate. Developed for use by imaging service bureaus that require new applications daily, “push button” scanning, automatic indexing and intelligent image/index distribution are a must-have. Also, frequent personnel changes and entry-level data entry personnel with poor language skills and high turnover rates required the software to be truly very simple to operate, resulting in minimal training expense.
“Individual job setups including database design for various customers can be accomplished in five to ten minutes,” says Nicolas Brunner, VP of Operations. “Also, we help our VAR’s and resellers to install and train their clients via our WebEx support module, and we offer custom programming for specific client needs.”
VersaIMAGE resellers range from office equipment dealers to computer services firms and service bureaus. The Versa SMB market pricing plan allows resellers to gain significant savings off their already industry-low dealer costs for vertical market penetration and volume levels achieved.
“We provide free demo software to our dealers and encourage them to install the software on a trial basis with our support which is part of our total client satisfaction program. It makes the purchase totally risk-free to the client. Additionally, with our affordable pricing plans all major cost obstacles have been removed,” adds Shepard.
VersaIMAGE regional managers are charged with dealer and client Webinars including training, dealer-client follow-up and customer satisfaction feedback. Custom training classes are available in Brighton, Michigan.
VersaIMAGE management relies on 100+ years of imaging experience and offers live software and systems support, eliminating automated telephone answering systems.
