Managed Print Services
Companies regularly devote substantial and un-quantified resources to print and print related services. Typically this occurs as the result of undefined processes and the delegated burden on internal departments due to a lack of a proactive print management procedure. This too familiar lack of print management process also subjects end users to greater efficiencies, lower productivity and frequent frustration.
Acquiring a better understanding of the true cost of printing and related activities such as scanning, copying and faxing has been commonly difficult because it's been historically handled in a fragmented manner. As a result, most companies do not know exactly how much it actually costs to print. Print costs routinely include the uncalculated but associated costs of purchasing or leasing, equipment service or maintenance, and the acquisition, distribution and use of parts and supplies.
Additionally, help desks and other IT resources are laden with support calls related to printing and other issues in order to support the print infrastructure. Poorly distributed devices, driver issues, downtime and a lack of user support generally results from thinly stretched procurement and IT departments who have been inundated with numerous contracts, invoices, leases, and other related documentation from multiple vendors. these issues also have a negative impact on both productivity and costs.
