Managed Print Services (MPS) is a welcome addition to any business looking for ways to reduce spending and streamline their print environment. Depending on the type of industry, organizations using MPS can expect to see savings on average of 30 percent or more, in addition to a number of other unexpected benefits. Here are three advantages of this valuable service that may help you view MPS in a whole new light, and help to take your business to the next level.
Increased Productivity
Many small to medium sized businesses don’t have the resources to handle the day to day maintenance and periodic repairs needed to ensure the consistent, reliable performance of their print equipment. When breakdowns occur, supplies need to be replenished, or it comes time to replace aging or inefficient machines, staff must be taken away from their core duties to resolve any issues—bringing productivity to a halt and increasing frustration. By partnering with an MPS provider, employees are relieved of these responsibilities, while industry experts manage all aspects of the office print environment.
Consolidated Spending
In an unregulated print environment where each department looks after purchasing and maintaining their own equipment, costs can spiral out of control, while any available discounts for volume purchasing are lost. An MPS provider will assess your inventory, tracking and recording all devices to consolidate future purchases and realize true cost savings.
Reduced Environmental Impact
More and more offices are implementing green initiatives in an effort to reduce their environmental footprint. Managed Print Services can help you achieve your goal of being a more sustainable, environmentally responsible business, by making some simple yet effective changes to the way you print, including:
- Reducing your inventory to eliminate inefficient or redundant print equipment
- Upgrading outdated or inefficient printers to more streamlined, energy saving devices
- Recycling used toner cartridges
- Introducing a series of print rules to reduce waste and paper usage, such as double-sided only printing, black and white only printing, and setting printer defaults to economy mode. To help you get started, you can download our free Office Print Policy here.
- Automatic routing of print jobs to the most effective device
Managed Print Services can help your business to succeed through enhanced productivity, consolidated spending and green initiatives that are good for both your organization and the environment.
