Sir Speedy, PIP and Signal Graphics Launch Strategic Alliance with Mimeo.com
Monday 02. August 2010 - New alliance promises to transform the imaging and printing environment for small and medium-sized businesses
Franchise Services, Inc., (FSI) parent company of Sir Speedy, PIP Printing and Marketing Services and Signal Graphics, and Mimeo.com, a print technology solutions company, today announced a new production print solution that enables business customers to have anywhere, anytime access to printing.
Under the terms of a new strategic alliance between the two companies, Mimeos print technology platform will support the Sir Speedy, PIP and Signal Graphics brands so that their customers will have remote access to a scalable online solution that includes virtual proofing, an unlimited document library, document management and online ordering and tracking tools. The program is designed to enable Sir Speedy, PIP and Signal Graphics franchise brands to capture a larger share of the $108 billion dollar global digital print market, with a focus on the 65% of all print expenditures that fall to printing and marketing services providers.
“Our goal with this program is to help our franchisees capture those customers who prefer to order their printed documents online, customers we have not easily had access to in the past,” said Richard Lowe, President and Chief Operating Officer of Franchise Services. “Now a business customer can utilize new capabilities such as the ability to place an order by 10 p.m. EST and receive it by 8:00 the next morning.”
“We are pleased to support FSIs franchisees with the Software as a Service (SaaS) applications and expanded digital production print capabilities sought by their customers,” said Adam Slutsky, Mimeo.com CEO. “This alliance combines the best of what we both have to offer, world class solutions that can help businesses of any size optimize the way they print and distribute documents.”
