Businesses now benefit from a number of ways to free themselves and innovate, thanks to managed print services (MPS).
With companies facing unprecedented change and battling with old-fashioned workflows and big printing bills, MPS offers the freedom they need to innovate and grow.
Fewer devices, greater control and a raft of new capabilities are freeing businesses to raise their productivity. Here’s how:
They have the freedom to think strategically
If your business didn’t have to spend time managing its own print environment, what could it achieve instead?
Keeping on top of procurement, installation, supply and ongoing maintenance is challenging due to what is usually a complex environment managed by multiple teams.
With modern MPS, your business will gain more control, security that is built-in from the ground up and real-time reporting. Add to that predictive maintenance and visualisation tools that enable strategic planning, and you’ll spend far more time developing your business.
They can invest in growth
Running a print infrastructure is costly. There’s the consumables, maintenance and energy which can be added to the more intangible (but equally costly) overheads such as employee time.
Managed print services enable you to reduce those overheads and reinvest the budget into areas that have a tangible improvement on performance.
Thanks to behavioural analyses, MPS will provide a direct insight into how you can reduce your bills and increase productivity. MPS also lets you pay by user for the services you use, ensuring you’re never paying over the odds for a print environment that is under utilised.
We shouldn’t forget the environmental savings, too. Less waste through more efficient printing will reduce your carbon footprint (New York City saved 70% of its energy costs in this manner).
They have the freedom to use the best tech
Modern printing devices provide businesses with fantastic flexibility thanks to their ability to function in a variety of ways.
‘Go-anywhere’ mobile printing and one-touch scanning and printing to the cloud are two examples of MPS facilities that can be enjoyed by investing sensibly in devices that are best of breed.
Without a rationalised print strategy, businesses typically purchase printers, copiers and scanners on an ad-hoc basis, thus saddling themselves with a complex web of disparate devices.
MPS gives your business the opportunity to put that right, and save on maintenance, complexity and significant cost.
They can work smarter
How do you save on paper? You use it less! This is why today’s managed print services aren’t solely about printing.
If you can save documents to the cloud and access them anywhere and digitise processes that were once manual, everyone gets more time back and the consumables bill drops.
MPS will help you cut down on wasted costs and enables employees to spend more time being productive (rather than waiting for their documents to print).
Is your way of printing holding your business back? The new range of managed print services will be your route to a more agile, faster way of working, and one that will help you lower costs considerably.
