The printing, scanning or copying of documents from outdated or poorly configured hardware and software is a touchpoint that can be easily rectified through an efficient, Managed Print Service (MPS). Removing the time spent fixing device malfunctions and replacing ink cartridges alongside toners in-house, increases efficiency across an organisation's print fleet infrastructure.
Efficiency within organisations is one of the biggest challenges they face daily. While there are innumerable reasons for inefficiency within the workplace and ways to rectify those, one of the most glaring for all businesses is within print management. 20% of all help desk queries within an organisation focus on printer-related issues, and it is evident then as an inefficient function within organisations. The amount of time your employees spend on printer-related tasks can be frustrating and detrimental to organisational efficiency.
A Managed Print Service (MPS) offers a crucial advantage of moving to a single supplier for your organisation's entire Managed Print Service through consolidated billing. Through consolidated billing, you can:
- Improve the control of invoice payment periods.
- Reduce time spent administering invoices.
- Engage in more favourable credit terms.
- Streamline expenditure planning in the future.
Through a single Managed Print provider, the costs of remote monitoring, toner supplies and consumables such as ink, delivery and engineer maintenance are all within one easily understandable, transparent bill. You are enabling your organisation to have complete control over print costs and be able to budget or forecast accordingly.
Every organisation has a duty of responsibility to reduce its environmental footprint and waste. Reducing the amount of paper used, the quantity of electricity utilised, and the print consumables your organisation uses are all part of a sustainable workplace.
By providing a Remote Monitoring system within your Managed Print Service (MPS), your organisation can identify and track levels of print usage. Through Remote Management of your Managed Print, your business will ideally be aware and better positioned to intervene and reduce your environmental footprint.
