The support demands in today’s printing environments have increased dramatically. We’re all trying to do more with less. Modern printing solutions empower businesses like never before. Smart companies focus on their core strengths while outsourcing their printing infrastructure to a flexible and reliable provider. This has proven to be a cost effective alternative to building up an in-house team.

Although most companies do some form of outsourcing, a lot forget about their printing needs.

When it comes to printing, most businesses want to save money and increase productivity (not waste paper, ink, toner, and allow workers to get their print job done quickly and efficiently.) And in some industries, security and compliance is paramount, i.e. only authorized people should be able to print so process optimization and consulting will also be required.

Savings

A survey conducted by Coleman Parkes Research in 2010 rated cost as the leading challenge (43% rated it as significant or very significant), followed by security (38%); capital expenditure (23%) and staff training/awareness (23%).

Educating your users is one way, but for large companies it really needs to also be automated. This is where managed print services can come in and assess, plan, implement, and manage the company’s printing needs. Complete reports can be generated and operational efficiencies can be achieved over time.

Productivity

Have you ever had to email or transfer something from your phone to your computer to print? If not, consider yourself lucky. That’s just one example of something that reduces productivity. Whether it’s printing from a mobile phone, or remotely, enabling your users to do it easily will prevent a lot of headaches.

Sustainability

Wasting paper and ink is bad for the environment. As responsible inhabitants, it’s our duty to be conscious of how we can be environmentally friendlier. Beyond the paper and the ink, auto toner and ink replenishments can be set up so they arrive with other office supplies. This reduces packing and shipping costs.
