DocuSense Inks Deal with The Philadelphia Inquirer
DocuSense Inks Deal with The Philadelphia Inquirer
Philadelphia, PA
DocuSense announced today they’ve signed a 5-year agreement with the Philadelphia Inquirer to provide print managed services for all their locations.
Under the agreement, DocuSense will be updating all of The Philadelphia Inquirer’s office printer equipment and providing a simplified “cost-per-page” billing. “We are able to cut their office document printing costs and refresh their equipment with newer models at the same time” said Donna Melso, President of DocuSense. “We’re reducing the variety of devices the Inquirer uses from 20 different types of equipment to 5 basic models.”
DocuSense will provide a monthly report showing print/copy volume and cost. “The Inquirer wanted to get a handle on costs and spending for the equipment in all of their offices”, explained Melso. “Using cost-per-page, DocuSense will provide this data and, at the same time, shrink dozens of monthly purchase orders and invoices to just one. That’s Complexity Simplified.”
DocuSense (formerly Laser Supply), celebrating its 20th year, is a Hewlett Packard authorized vendor and Xerox Peak Elite authorized partner. DocuSense consults with clients to help them understand, manage and reduce their office printing, copying and faxing costs.

Ten Things To Consider When Buying A Multifunction Printer: Article 1
You need to ask yourself the right questions to make an informed decision about what multifunction printer is right for your company. Here is the first of ten considerations you should make before putting a new machine in your office.
1. Know your requirements.
You need to really understand what you will need the device to do before you buy it. Many times, requirements aren’t well understood or, worse, are dictated by the device salesperson. Here are some questions you could ask yourself before diving in and buying.
A) Will you need color? Not just today but perhaps in the coming months or years that you will use the device. Thinking about this question before you buy will make a big difference in how your office functions and the way you will use the device in months and years that follow.
B) What size prints or copies will you need to make? Many devices can print/copy up to tabloid but this feature adds acquisition cost. If you can do without printing or copying 11×17 size, you’ll save money.
C) How fast does it need to print/copy? Don’t be fooled into thinking that the device’s manufacturer rated speed is the speed it will print/copy. Most manufacturers overstate this speed significantly. Test it yourself or ask your device’s sales rep how many pages per minute the device is typically capable of outputting. If you take the published speed for granted, you’ll pay a premium for equipment that won’t live up to your expectations.
D) How many people will use the device? Try to understand who will be using the device, how often they’ll need to use it and how far you will want them to walk. In most corporations, having to walk more than 50 feet will create complaints from users.

Multifunction printers can help you streamline duplicate and cumbersome document processes and electronically organize, edit and archive your paper documents. With an MFP and a simple software application you can turn paper documents into electronic format and send to multiple destinations – email, document repositories, network folders, even remote printers – with a single scan.
Once you’re armed with the knowledge you’ve gathered by asking these questions, you’ll be prepared to make the right decision for your business.

DocuSense is a Woman owned Business
Makes sense. Donna Melso, a member of (WBENC) Women’s Business Enterprise, founded Laser Supply, Inc. dba Docusense in 1989. The company is now a GSA contractor, a Hewlett Packard partner, a member of the Xerox Peak Elite team and has stretched it’s capabilities to include printer fleet management and document solutions. “In today’s economy you need to find ways to decrease your costs that directly impact your bottom line” said Donna Melso.
Many companies don’t realized how much they spend to create, print, copy, file and store their documents. Documents are a high-volume part of every business and few companies have a strategy in place to address these hidden costs. “We have the team, tools and technology, to help you understand and manage these costs”. DocuSense is complexity simplified!”
Docusense launches their exclusive blog!!!
West Chester, PA, December 22, 2009– DocuSense today announced the launch of their exclusive blog, Cost Per Page Solutions, located at www.costperpage.com. This strategic internet marketing initiative follows the re-launch of their website, www.docusense.com, last month. The blog was created and launched in response to the growing industry demand for paper-reduction strategies and insight into better print cost management. The blog will be used as a new information channel for current clients and partners as well as a resource for the latest and most comprehensive information on print solution best practices. “DocuSense prides itself on customer service excellence and so we wanted to find a way to pass along the latest information on our educational events and fleet management solutions to our clients and web community, having a dedicated blog will allow us to do that,” said Donna Melso, President of DocuSense.

Using the DocuSense Customer Login Portal for Service Calls
Some of our customers don’t realize that they can access their account information 24/7 thru the DocuSense Customer Login. It is absolutely free and very easy to use. To get started just submit a contact form with the Subject line “Customer Login” – and a service professional will respond with your account login information
One of the features current users like best about the portal is their ability to see the equipment they own. Each piece of equipment is listed by location for that customer. By clicking on the equipment you can see its contract status, warranty status, and completed service calls.
So let’s say the user needs service on a particular equipment. Before placing the service call on-line they are able to see the manufacturer’s warranty expiration date and if it is covered under contract. They can look at the history of the machine and, if it isn’t under contract and has needed service frequently, might decide to purchase a service contract on it. If the equipment is older, they could choose not to get it serviced and just replace it with something new.
Whatever the customer decides, it’ll be because they’re more informed and they can relax knowing they made the right decision. That’s complexity simplified!
