Three Benefits of Managed Print Services (MPS) for the Public Sector

As part of our ongoing Case Study series with Craven College on their deployment of Managed Print Services (MPS) and Managed IT Services (MITS) within the Education Sector at Apogee, we wanted to look at three benefits of Managed Print Services (MITS) for Public Sector. 

The Public Sector is a crucial pillar for Apogee, as Paul Rylands, Director of Public Sector, explains. "Apogee has a significant history with the public sector, going back to the acquisition trail. The public sector is a significant part of what we do. It makes up a third of all the business that we transact yearly. The Public Sector is split into parts, which are Central Government, Local Government, NHS and Health, with Education being a major part of that."

Apogee is Europe's largest multi-brand Managed Print Services (MPS) provider, with over thirty years of experience in the Managed Print sector. We place Digital Transformation at our fore and believe that all organisations can benefit from a centralised and organisationally efficient Managed Print Service. The public sector is under constant pressure to adopt new technology whilst attempting to juggle strict budgets and overseers. For many Public Sector organisations, the need for digital transformation is paramount to their success, which is why Apogee, a leader in the field, is ideally placed to enable this transformation. Whether Central Government, Local Government, the NHS or Education, adopting and implementing print infrastructure in a consolidated and comprehensive way can be outside their abilities without engaging with a Managed Print Services (MPS) provider.

Through our thirty years in the Managed Print Services (MPS) sector, we have evolved with the technology and advancements across Managed Print solutions, whether through the development of new Multi-function Devices (MFDs) or the advent and adoption of Cloud Print technologies. In tandem with this, our status as an approved supplier on multiple Public Sector purchasing frameworks offers organisations peace of mind while mitigating risk.

Apogee covers all aspects of a Public Sector organisation's printing, including printers, scanners, copiers, Multi-functional Devices (MFDs), Information Management, and Process Automation solutions. Apogee's Managed Print Services (MPS) by design and implementation are there to save time and money by analysing the print requirements and providing more visibility and control of an organisation's print environment. 

Apogee, as part of our Managed Print Services (MPS) solution, manages everything from toner supply and replacement, servicing the equipment, meter readings, and consolidated billing, with comprehensive management reporting and the collection and recycling of the device at the end of its life cycle. Whether through Information Management, Production Print, or Process Automation, Apogee delivers our Managed Print Services (MPS) through a modular approach, custom-built from the ground up for the particular and exacting needs and requirements of Public Sector organisations. A respected Managed Print Service (MPS) provider, such as Apogee, an approved Framework supplier for the Public Sector, is essential to any print infrastructure's success. For this reason, we have compiled three benefits of Managed Print Services (MPS) for the Public Sector below.

Today’s business leadership teams are faced with new challenges as they continue to navigate the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. Out of pure need to quickly and efficiently transition staff from the workplace to remote operations, business leaders prioritised what was happening in that moment in order to support employees and customers.

Since the reopening of many sectors within the UK, attention has rapidly been turned to the next phase of re-building and adapting to this new flexible workplace which ultimately is a period of unpredictability in terms of migrating from previous processes.
