OKI Data Americas announces its participation in World Expo 2012 and Platinum Sponsorship of the Imaging Channel Managed Print Summit, taking place July 17-19, 2012 at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. OKI will provide live demonstrations of the company's cloud-based, comprehensive Managed Print Services (MPS) solution -- Total Managed Print -- from 11:15 a.m. -- 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 18 and Thursday, July 19 in booth 153 of the Managed Print Pavilion. In addition, OKI will discuss industry trends and MPS best practices throughout the exposition within booth 449.

The 15th Annual World Expo, strategically paired with the 4th Annual Imaging Channel Managed Print Summit, is the only event that encompasses all the major components of the document imaging industry under one roof. As a sponsor of this educational summit, OKI will present the features and functionality of its Total Managed Print (TMP) solution -- a modular offering that can be leveraged turnkey as a complete MPS business model, or individually at the component level, to augment an existing business model. The solution, consisting of nine customizable modules, enables businesses to reduce overall expenditures while improving efficiencies and employee productivity, removing the burden of print ownership by providing a cloud-based, brand and device agnostic print fleet management tool.

OKI's proprietary TMP solution helps businesses realize immediate and long-term savings by generating new and recurring revenue streams while helping customers save money and optimize their print environments. The implementation of OKI's comprehensive MPS offering helps organizations drive continuous improvement of business processes, workflow and day-to-day operations through a comprehensive fleet assessment, automated strategic business recommendations, continuous remote monitoring of assets and usage, predictive services and supplies fulfillment, and consolidated purchase and billing options, as well as a full line of exclusive, MPS-ready hardware.

"OKI is pleased to be part of World Expo 2012 and the Imaging Channel Managed Print Summit -- one of the most valuable industry events of the year due to the caliber of its participants," said Tim Brien, Director of Managed Print Services at OKI Data Americas. "This event provides OKI with a unique opportunity to demonstrate our end-to-end MPS solution, and share how our comprehensive platform continues to evolve from hardware-based to service-based solutions."

World Expo 2012 and the Imaging Channel Managed Print Summit provide attendees with top industry education, offering more than 60 classes covering topics ranging from sales solutions to cartridge components, as well as a variety of presentations, keynotes and panels with leaders in the imaging industry. The show floor features product and service demonstrations by managed print providers, imaging supplies providers, components vendors and software companies, giving professionals an exclusive opportunity to engage and network with others in their business.

All OKI products are built on parent company OKI Data Corporation’s history of leadership and innovation. Most of OKI’s color printing solutions feature Single Pass Color as well as proprietary digital LED and HD Color technologies. These technologies allow OKI Data Americas to manufacture products that require fewer moving parts for increased reliability, greater media handling versatility and outstanding color output quality.
