| Kodak Document Imaging Announces New Reseller Programme Eastman Kodak Company announces the introduction of a second tier to its existing Reseller Club Programme designed to attract new partners in Europe to sell its range of scanners. Called the Kodak Reseller Programme, it is open to any reseller wishing to sell Kodak scanners, software and service, with registration entitling them to participate in promotions and incentives, as well as receiving regular news and information. The Kodak Reseller Programme is being introduced with 10% cash-back off list price on Kodak i1300 and i1400 Series Scanners available on all sales until December 31, 2008 for both newly signed up and existing resellers. All products must be purchased through a Kodak Authorised Distributor. These desktop scanners are compact and packed with features typically found in much larger models. The i1300 and i1400 series scanners have optional A4 and A3 tethered flatbeds and cater for volumes of between 3,000 and 10,000 pages per day at speeds of up to 75 pages per minute. Out of the box, the scanners featured as part of this new promotion come with bundled software so that organisations can get up and running quickly with a document management solution. The Kodak Reseller Club Programme was created in 2005 with Kodak working closely with specialist partners to build business in key territories and verticals by providing joint marketing funding, technical expertise and sales assistance. Kodak continues to invest substantially in innovative technology that helps users to automate their business processes and workflows, crucial as research shows that 30% of knowledge workers' time involves non-productive retrieval tasks and companies typically spend 10 to 15% of gross revenue on document related management – three times the amount invested on research and development. According to analysts, InfoSource, over 300,000 scanners in total were shipped across the EMEA region in 2007, with compound annual growth rates expected to remain at 10% between now and 2012. Companies who sign up to the new Kodak Reseller Programme can also benefit from selling Kodak Service and Support contracts with its hardware and software. Kodak Service and Support is award-winning and was hailed 'Best Support Organisation 2006' at the International Business Awards, the only global, all-encompassing award for excellent performance in the workplace, with votes made from companies worldwide. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
