This page describes the PaperCut ecosystem and details the level of support and services provided by each part of that model. All resellers within the PaperCut ecosystem have staff certified in the technical, marketing, and licensing aspects of selling and supporting PaperCut. These resellers also have access to continually updated marketing and technical resources from PaperCut Software.

Note: PaperCut MF and PaperCut Hive are sold, supported, and provided solely through our PaperCut Channel. All other PaperCut products can be sold, supported, and provided through the PaperCut Channel as well.

PaperCut Authorized Partners

PaperCut engages with a network of certified Authorized Partners to give resellers the best print management solution for the customer. Authorized Partners act as an extension of PaperCut, and represent PaperCut in various regions around the world.
Authorized Partners provide training, technical pre-sales guidance, installation and project management services along with systems integration, third-party terminal hardware, and reseller technical support. They are vendor neutral and do not sell MFDs or printers.
They share PaperCut Software’s values of being customer-focused, tailoring solutions to suit the requirements of each customer rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Have access to all PaperCut-created materials and tools, as well as create their own documents, presentations, and content, to sell and support PaperCut to our Resellers.

PaperCut

Develops PaperCut software and continually improves and supports the core product.
Is always available to assist with technical or licensing questions regarding PaperCut NG, PaperCut Pocket and our free products. In the case of PaperCut MF and Hive, we will seek to ensure customer queries are initially directed to the appropriate Channel Partner (Authorized Partner or Reseller) to make sure the best fix and support is provided.
Regularly adds features and functionality to PaperCut based on feedback from customers, resellers, and Authorized Partners. Releases new minor versions approximately every six to eight weeks and a new major version approximately every twelve months.
