Managed Print Services

Without Managed Print Services you could be spending up to 3% of your revenues on copying and printing.*

Copying and printing documents is still a vital part of the way organisations communicate. However, these processes, and the fleet of devices that support them, are often complex and unmanaged. As a result, this often leads to unnecessary copy and print costs.

The solution is Managed Print Services, with a single supplier who can:

  • understand your document workflows
  • analyse your device fleet and document output costs
  • develop a bespoke Document Output Strategy
  • design a print environment right for your business
  • provide a single supplier, one invoice solution
  • reduce your copy/print costs by as much as 30%
  • continuously review and optimise your entire device fleet
  • reduce your environmental impact

What are Managed Print Services?

A Managed Print Service is where the hardware, software, supplies and service are all provided and fully supported by your chosen single supplier.

The three main phases of a Managed Print Service are shown below.

managed print services phases

Assessment

This involves carrying out a review of your current print environment – i.e. devices and output volumes often utilising a Print Audit. We provide recommendations for a print solution that will save you time and money. Assessments range from basic online analysis right up to full document workflow review. Environmental impact analysis and document security assessments may also be included.

Optimisation

We’ll help you improve your device-to-user ratios, device placement and also fine tune your fleet mix. Use of Fleet Monitoring Software is almost always of benefit. Print Management Software may be justified depending upon the situation. Print management policies allow controls and rules for copying and printing, bolstering security and also reducing costs.

Management

A Managed Print Service is a continuous process of improvement. It includes regular business reviews, service level agreement monitoring and also periodic audits. In other words, we’ll be there for you whenever you need us.

Information gathering

It is important to understand the impact the lack of a stringent output strategy can have, not only in terms of overall efficiency but how this can affect the environment, security as well as cost control.

Our consultant will gather information and include a manual tried and tested approach, via the collection of data configuration pages.

Site visit and audit

Site visit and audit

Uncover the true cost of your document creation, distribution, management, output and storage. We will reveal areas for immediate and longer term cost reduction.

A print audit determines how efficient your office is; economically & environmentally. Clients implementing our print management solutions experience savings of over 30%.

Report

Report

Our audit report will provide full details on your entire fleet and give you an accurate total cost of ownership figure. (If you would like to see a sample report please contact us.)
