Mimeo Announces Strategic Alliance with Administaff

New alliance makes Mimeo's web-based "print-on-demand" services available to clients of Administaff, Inc., which serves as a full service human resources department for thousands of small and medium-sized companies throughout the United States. This alliance expands the reach of Mimeo's marketing program and adds value to Administaff's service offering.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) May 13, 2004 -- Mimeo, Inc. and Administaff, Inc. (NYSE: ASF) have entered into a strategic alliance that will make Mimeo's document printing, binding storage, and distribution services available to Administaff clients directly via the Internet. In addition, Administaff clients will be able to receive preferred pricing on Mimeo services.

Mimeo is the leading provider of Web-based, on-demand digital printing and distribution services. Administaff is the nation's leading Professional Employer Organization (PEO).

"Both Administaff and Mimeo are dedicated to making business processes more efficient and cost-effective for the benefit of their clients, so this relationship is a perfect fit," said John Lyons, CEO of Mimeo. "Mimeo's just-in-time print service further extends the value proposition that Administaff offers its small and medium-sized business clients."

"We are pleased to be able to offer Mimeo's convenience, quality and value to our clients," said Randall H. McCollum, vice president, Strategic Alliances at Administaff. "Our clients understand the benefits of outsourcing non-core functions to those who can do it best; we know they will be quick to recognize the value that Mimeo offers its customers with on-demand digital printing services."

How the Mimeo service works
Mimeo allows customers to print directly to Mimeo's color and black-and-white high-speed digital printers from the most commonly used software applications. Mimeo's proprietary system is built on three key components: technology, the Internet and a state-of-the-art print facility.

The core of the patented Mimeo system, its proprietary "ExactPrint" technology, enables a user to easily, accurately and securely transmit files to Mimeo via the Internet, simply by installing Mimeo's print driver on any Windows-enabled desktop. This gives users the ability to create and proof printed documents in their own web browser, including complex tasks such as collating multiple files, inserting tabs, binding and adding covers, with a simple File/Print" command.

Since customers access the Mimeo system over the Internet through their web browser, virtually all of the technology and programming behind the services is on Mimeo's servers, not on the customer's. This ASP model means the customer avoids all costs associated with installing and maintaining a system. Mimeo also enables businesses to store their documents digitally and securely on Mimeo's servers.

The final step in Mimeo's system is its world-class document production facility located in Memphis, Tenn., adjacent to the runway of one of North America's largest shipping hubs. Mimeo's centralized production facility features the latest in digital printing technology. Documents can be submitted as late as 10 p.m. for printing and delivery to multiple locations anywhere in North America by the next morning.
