Panini Announces Authorized Service Provider Program

Many Industry Leading Companies Already Certified

 

Dayton, Ohio (December 2, 2008) - Today, Panini continues to set the industry standard in the critical areas of services and support for distributed check capture with the announcement of their Panini Authorized Service Provider (PASP) Program. The PASP program is an authorized warranty and maintenance program for qualified members of the Panini Partner Plus channel program. PASP members are certified by Panini to perform warranty and maintenance repairs for Panini’s market-leading check scanners. This new program, in combination with the renowned quality and reliability of the Panini Vision X™, allows Panini to offer a variety of service programs for customers and partners.

Industry leading technology companies serving the distributed capture marketing including BLM Technologies, MHL Computer Products, New England Money, InStream, The Blue Fox Group and New Wave Technologies have already been certified as Panini Authorized Service Providers. Additionally, Panini has developed new partnerships as a direct result of the PASP program including Technology Unlimited, DRS Imaging, and Financial Systems & Equipment, Inc.

“Panini really raised the bar with the implementation of their Partner Plus channel program last year,” says Ron Meinhart, President, BLM Technologies. “The addition of the Authorized Service Provider program allows us to extend our partnership to better serve our customers.”
 

Panini’s Authorized Service Provider program provides Panini Vision X users the ability to choose a warranty and maintenance program that best meets their needs. Services can be provided directly by Panini or through an authorized member of the PASP program. The program also allows users of Panini’s market-leading check scanners the flexibility to work with one vendor for all of their distributed capture needs.

“We are pleased to provide Panini customers with maintenance and warranty options that adhere to the same high standard of excellence we follow for our products,” says Doug Roberts, President, Panini North America.

“All PASP members undergo extensive training, allowing users of Panini’s product line to experience a consistent level of service regardless of the authorized provider used by the customer,” adds Joe Sanders, VP Technical Services, Panini North America. “Panini certifies all PASP members, providing them with best practices for service performance.”
 

Panini is a global leader in providing payment technology innovation. The company’s dominant market share position was recently affirmed by Celent, a leading industry consulting firm, in their 2008 RDC report, which named Panini the overall leader in check scanner shipments for the third consecutive year based on CY 2007 results.
