We want to do our part in helping your office to run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. One way that we do that is by offering solutions like managed print services.

It's not too difficult to come up with a list of benefits when it comes to expert print management. Businesses who've done the math can verify:

• Savings as high as 30% on their previous print spend.
• Improved device performance through proactive maintenance and attention by the expert, industry-trained service technicians.
• Better supply-chain administration, with no need for expensive inventories.

But there's even more to the story. Printing Advantages Your Business Deserves

Check out these benefits to discover how Managed Print can deliver improvements across your entire organization.

1. More Insight

Many companies don't know for certain how many devices they own, let alone what benefits each one provides (or doesn't provide) to their daily workflows. Print management can help by clearing up the issue, once and for all.

• The number of devices you currently own, their type, make, and model.
• A detailed report on the location of each device and how it fits into your workflows.
• Data on each device, including the workload each one is expected to deliver.
• Ongoing usage reports, including volumes and type of printing.
• Supply consumption reports.

2. Better Solutions

Print management goes beyond reporting. For example: If the location of certain devices is causing workflow bottlenecks, your Managed Print Services provider can pinpoint those difficulties and make suggestions to remedy the situation.

Perhaps the addition of one device—maybe a centrally located multifunction printer—would vastly improve productivity.

During periods of growth, your Managed Print Services provider may help you recognize the need to deploy additional devices or relocate the ones you already own.

3. Less Burden on Your Staff

Typically in-house IT staff are expected to fit printer management into their already full schedules. Reports indicate that as many as 25% of help desk calls are due to printer and copier issues. Print management relieves your staff of day-to-day print management so they can get back to their real jobs.
