If you have a smorgasbord of printer makes and models of different ages and capabilities, you’re probably missing out on some key efficiencies. MPS software will analyse your current printers, how much they’re used and how old they are. Devices more than five years old often require more repairs, experience prolonged downtime and frustrate users.

  • An MPS program will recommend measures to right-size the fleet. Less variation in printers provides a consistent experience for users who print to various devices throughout the office, makes servicing easier and minimizes supplies that must be stocked.
  • An MPS program can monitor individual printer use and, based on the manufacturer’s recommended monthly page volume (RMV) for each device, identify devices that are either underused or overused. Then you can optimize your printer fleet accordingly to reduce downtime and the need for repairs.
  • By understanding how and what your employees print, an MPS program can recommend areas for cost savings. For example, if documents can be printed in black-and-white and both the side of paper, you can prioritize mono duplex devices, which cost less to print to than colour machines.

Save Time & Money:

In many businesses, keeping the printer stocked and ready falls to information technology and office managers — people who have many other demands on their time.

  • An efficient MPS program provides access to experts who can offer immediate help over a dedicated service line and then, if needed, offer quick service and repairs in the office.
  • Device management software tracks printer usage, repair needs, and ink and toner levels so technology staff and office managers aren’t frequently distracted by printer maintenance.
  • With automated purchasing, printers won’t be out of commission for hours or days while you wait for supplies to show up.
  • The MPS investment is paid in one monthly bill, rather than in a slew of unpredictable expenses.

Printing has a larger office footprint than you might realize.

  • Right-sizing your fleet will free up real estate that used to be taken up by underutilized printers.
  • An MPS program automates supply purchasing so you buy only what you need, when you need it. You’ll no longer have to stock excess supplies such as paper and toner cartridges, creating extra space in your cabinets. And you don’t buy supplies you won’t end up using.

Reduce Print Cost

Every busy company don’t know how expensive printing services are. Between printing, copying, and faxing, the average office worker uses 10,000 sheets of paper each year. Depending on the size of your team, this figure can multiply quickly, affecting your printing costs and your bottom line. With Managed Print Services (MPS), companies can reduce printing costs, translating into significant savings for your business. By helping organizations gain control of their printing expenses and uncover hidden savings, MPS can lower printing costs by as much as 30 percent.

Increase Productivity & Efficiency

Sometimes it takes an outside perspective to shed some truthful light upon a situation. While your company may believe that their office equipment devices are set up in a manner that maximizes efficiency and contributes to an overall better workflow, it actually may do the exact opposite. MPS professionals are trained to scout out the common mistakes in office print infrastructure configurations and address them with strategic solutions. For example, while it may seem like a good idea for every employee to have his or her own printer, it is actually much more productive and cost efficient to have one network multifunction printer in the office.

Sustainability is a goal we can all strive for which can not only help the environment, but can offer other significant benefits like reduced costs.

Sustainability at the organizational level is a multifaceted process that can be helped along with Managed Print Services (MPS).

Keeping your printer software up-to-date ensures that you are always operating the system’s latest version with the most up-to-date security patches. Implementing sign-in procedures and pull printing will prevent printed documents from being abandoned at devices or picked up by someone other than the person to whom the printed document belongs. Automatic hard drive wiping functionality can purge electronic copies of sensitive data saved to your devices.In order to keep your sensitive business information safe, your printers need to be secure. MPS provides you with the ability to protect your data with the help of security professionals.
