The acquisition will allow Print Audit and its Premier members to fully manage a customer’s
document workflow for printed and digital content as well as provide full intranet and
communications capabilities. NeoStream capabilities will be rolled out initially in North
America with international rollout at a later date.
John MacInnes, President at Print Audit said: "Print Audit is transforming and we’re helping our
Premier members to do the same. The acquisition of NeoStream Technologies will ensure they have the
opportunity to manage and monetise the entire document lifecycle, printed or not.”

accustomed to. Print Audit Premier members will have the opportunity to offer NeoStream’s solutions
exclusively and at a discounted rate for a limited time by upgrading to Premier Plus. The NeoStream

Tech Data and OKI join forces
Tech Data is now distributing the full range of OKI
business LED printers and multifunctional devices
in the UK. The two companies have formed a
partnership that extends choice and brings
new growth potential to Tech Data’s reseller
customers serving the corporate, SMB and
public sector markets.
As well as extending the distributor’s B2B
portfolio, the agreement enables OKI to benefit
from the extensive market reach and logistical
capabilities of Tech Data in the UK and Ireland.
Tech Data has underlined its commitment to
making the partnership a success by appointing
Ruari Metcalfe as its dedicated OKI Business
Development Manager. He will be responsible for
supporting OKI partners in identifying opportunities, getting the
best out the Shinrai Partner Programme, and growing their sales.
Simon Tetlow, OKI Head of Channel said: “With our new colour portfolio, we can offer resellers
impressive and attractive business solutions to take to their customers. We have an excellent channel
programme and a firm commitment to supporting our partners and helping them grow. Tech Data’s
unrivalled reach and resources will enable us to bring the benefits to more resellers and businesses across
the UK.”
Nationwide office supplies company Eurostat
has successfully secured a new account
worth £250,000, a move it attributes to
being onboard with the Spicers Alliance
programme and the additional support of
SPOT Group’s experts that comes with this.
Sales Director, Alan Candlish said: “I have been
incredibly impressed with how the Spicers team
took over the implementation of the new account.
Winning an account with 60 branches nationwide
for everyday stationery items, as well as their print
orders and marketing products, is a salesman’s
dream!”
He added: “If we had attempted this venture
by ourselves, there is no doubt in my mind we
would have won and then lost this account within
four weeks as there were so many processes that
were alien to us. However, the ease and efficiency
that SPOT group worked with us and with our
client was fantastic.”
