ADVANTAGE-X REDUCES ROI TIME FOR HIGH TECH ACQUISITIONS

(POMPANO BEACH, FL )— IT dollars are being stretched with innovative and sometimes secretive equipment purchasing in the secondary market. For 10 years, privately held Advantage-X has been quietly competing head to head with behemoth Xerox Corp. for the same Xerox DocuPrint land DocuTech models. With savings that may approach up to $1,000,000, Advantage-X has penetrated some of the most sensitive operations at major South Florida data centers.

" We're a proven company with the most durable and reliable equipment for critical print operations- Xerox", says Jane Beekmann, President of Advantage-X. While it was the cost conscious public sector that fueled early growth, it is the private sector that is expected to catapult the company's future growth.

"We purchase pre-owned machines, completely refurbish them to original manufacturer specifications, then service them to a higher standard", said Jane. "When you buy from Xerox, you may receive new or refurbished equipment according to their contracts, but Advantage-X customers save up to 50% off the retail price. Most of our solutions enable customers to cut operating costs in half and achieve a return on investment in just 16-18 months."

Advantage-X gets it equipment from expiring leases and leasing companies. What many people don't realize is that Xerox does the same thing. With prices approaching $500,000, it is both environmental and financial reasons that drive businesses to harvest parts such as frames and covers from existing machines rather than manufacture new.

Government contracts are sometimes still written requesting 'new equipment with all new parts', but at a recent bid review with potential vendors, it came as a no surprise that there were no vendors, including original manufacturers, who could guarantee that their machine would include all new parts.

Armed with a book of glowing customer testimonials, Jane converts an impressive 90% of prospects to Advantage-X after introducing her crack service team. "Whether pre-owned or new, operating expectations are the same", continues Jane, "and when something is not working right, customers want a quick resolution. Customers feel safe knowing they don't have to go through layers of management for help."
