Abstract: Systems and methods for managing business machine assets are described. In one configuration, the system analyzes alternate cost structures and provides for alternate asset model replacement suggestions. The asset management system provides for asset comparison analysis. The system uses historical data for a current asset and charts potential replacement asset performance using those historical parameters or predicted or entered future parameters. In an alternative configuration, the compare and contrast report does not include the current asset, but only compares potential replacement assets.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing business machine assets are described. In one configuration, the system manages consumable usage including predicting usage, predicting replacement times, monitoring consumables fraud and providing consumable usage reports. Business machine usage data is used to predict expected consumables usage. The expected consumables usage is then compared to actual consumables usage in order to determine compliance. In another configuration, the system manages service and maintenance issues including trends and compliance.
