From paper, to toner, to your employees’ time, print can eat up a large portion of your budget each year. These costs can be hard to control, especially on your own. A Managed Print Services provider can help you assess your print costs and develop a money-saving plan for your print environment.
Print Assessment
Before you can control your costs, it’s important to take stock of your current state. This is accomplished by conducting a print assessment. By looking at each printer, an MPS provider can calculate your cost per page, as well as analyze how each printer is being used. This data can identify areas of inefficiency, waste, and other problems. With this information in hand, an improvement plan can be developed.
Repairs
Every time your printers go down, you’re losing time and money while you wait for repairs. If you rely on your in-house IT team to fix the problem, you’re pulling your technology experts away from more important projects to troubleshoot a lower-value task. These two factors together can add up to significant money.
With an MPS program, you can take advantage of expert repairs and maintenance to improve your printer performance. With preventative maintenance, you can experience less downtime. When printers do go down, you have expert technicians on-call, leaving your IT team free to pursue other critical functions for your company.
Improve Efficiency
Many companies don’t put a lot of thought into printer purchasing and deployment. This can lead to some departments having printers that do more than they should, while others are under utilized. These types of inefficiencies can add up to serious losses for your company.
An MPS provider can help develop a strategy for your print fleet, and can design a more efficient deployment pattern. When every department has access to the printer they need, your entire company can enjoy the benefits of a more efficient and streamlined print environment.
How much money does your company spend on print? Print is often one of the largest expenses behind rent and payroll, with many of the expenses being hidden in downtime, inefficiency, and waste. Fortunately with Managed Print Services, you can gain a better understanding of your print costs and find ways to reduce your expenses and save money.
