The use of ESP products improves equipment performance, reducing power related disturbances and paper jams, which in turn reduces paper and toner waste. Research has shown that ESP's power protection products also extends the longevity of digital equipment and reduces the need for some parts replacement. Committed to the Industry ESP technology is recognized as best in class. ESP has consulted, partnered and has worked side by side with R&D facilities with most of the major copier OEMs. For three decades ESP has been actively involved with the BTA channel of office equipment dealers, including membership in the Business Technology Association, IBPI Buying Group and Technology United. Through key industry relationships, ESP is acknowledged as the go-to resource for knowledge, ingenuity and cutting edge products in the world of power protection. ESP was originally created by copier technicians for copier technicians. In the mid 1980s, the advancement of copier technology introduced micro-processors, which required clean power to operate properly. Service managers had to deal with random 'C' codes that techs were unable to recreate upon arrival. 'No problem found' service calls became time consuming for the tech and costly to the servicing dealer's bottom line. Office equipment dealers and manufacturers needed a cost effective solution to reduce ground noise and provide clean power. ESP was founded twenty five years ago to resolve power disturbances and provide a comprehensive protection product for the office equipment industry.
Reliability & ROI Three separate industry specific studies were conducted by research power-houses BEI, Industry Analysts and Buyers Lab to quantify the effects of using power protection on copier equipment. Independent research from BEI Services, based on data collected from over 50,000 machines, has proven that ESP protection improves the profitability of equipment, increases MCBV by 16%, and provides a parts service costs savings of $64 per unit, per year. This study quantified a proven return on investment through verified reduction in cost of parts, reduced service calls, equipment life extension, and overall customer satisfaction.
