8. What processes will IKON use to evaluate my location's needs?   ( TOP )

IKON has committed to conduct site-by-site inventory of equipment. In making replacement equipment recommendations, IKON utilizes several tools to assess the print needs of individual locations:

Site Equipment Data Survey-S.E.D.S.-IKON's access equipment database provides detailed reports on copier, facsimile machines, line, laser and desk jet printers and base-line related costs and volumes associated with each machine when available.


End User Survey Results
-One-on-One Focus Interview findings. The results are compiled to assist IKON in making preliminary recommendations.



9. What about my existing fleet?   ( TOP )

Leases on existing equipment will be reviewed during the site-by-site equipment inventory and assessment to be conducted by IKON. If it is determined that it is more cost effective to trade-in or trade-up equipment, IKON will propose new equipment solutions. If it is determined that it is not cost effective, existing leases will be allowed to run their term. IKON can provide a sample "Cancellation" letter upon request that can be sent to current vendors as equipment comes off lease. For more information contact your Major Account Executive.
