It can be difficult to pinpoint the exact cost of business printing. While many companies are doing all they can to adopt paperless workflows, printing remains an important business component. As knowledge workers become more mobile, security during printing is an ever increasing challenge. Managed print services can help you address these issues and more.
The Clear Benefits
A managed print services partnership can help your company gain control of your total print infrastructure. The benefits are substantial.
- Reduced printing costs. The average savings for businesses adopting a managed print services strategy is 30%. This is achieved through an overall reduction in wasteful printing practices, better management of consumables and improved device maintenance and workflows.
- Improved productivity. An audit of your current workflows will pinpoint production bottlenecks and inefficient use of devices. In some cases, a simple relocation of printers to match features with departmental requirements can make a measurable difference in productivity. Optimized devices mean fewer printer downtimes that bring workflows to a halt and cause employee frustration.
- Enhanced security. Network vulnerability during printing is a growing concern. Managed print services can locate and address areas where your infrastructure is susceptible to unauthorized access through printers, including on the device and during sharing.
Go Green
One of the most significant advantages to managed print services is an overall reduction in waste. Older underused devices that drain power may be eliminated from workflows completely. Paper-saving recommendations mean a reduction in both paper usage and consumables like ink and toner, keeping waste out of landfills.
Free Up Staff
With around 20% of all help desk calls falling squarely into the “What’s going on with the printer?” category, both you and your employees will enjoy an optimized and expertly managed printing fleet. Your IT staff and your employees can get back to their real jobs when they’re free from frustrating printer issues.
