MPS Plus - Taking Managed Print Services to the next level

Choosing a reputable Managed Print Services (MPS) partner will help you achieve financial savings and greater efficiencies, but you may need to go a step further.

A standard MPS offering will focus on an initial assessment of your printing environment followed by service provision and ongoing account management, but with MPS Plus, you’ll be able to address broader business objectives.

What is MPS Plus?

MPS Plus combines all of the benefits of the standard service with a range of additions that will support your shift to a digital information environment.

Every business is different, which is why MPS Plus ensures a fully bespoke service is delivered and made flexible enough to adapt as your business goals evolve.

By using insight from your data, a dedicated customer service representative will help you continually optimise to meet your cost, security and productivity goals. It’s therefore the perfect solution for companies who want to optimise their print environment but who also want to future-proof and eliminate problematic paper-based processes.

From assessment to ongoing, advanced analytics and automation

The MPS Plus assessment builds on that of the standard offering by employing the services of a business analyst who can look at the people, processes and environment.

This means you’ll gain insight far beyond what most print management software offers, thanks to live graphical information and data modelling techniques.

From that insight, new workflow automations can be implemented, taking the task of dealing with paper-heavy, cumbersome processes off the hands of employees.

Ultimate security

A standard MPS offering delivers great device security, but with MPS Plus, you’ll gain the ability to automatically detect when sensitive information is being scanned or printed, enabling you to redact, block, stamp or alert immediately.

Security for your printing environment extends beyond cyber threats and the printing of confidential information, which is why the print awareness tool included with MPS Plus is so valuable.

By ‘gamifying’ printing process within your business, you can change user behaviour and encourage responsible printing. Live scorecards and leaderboards will ensure users contribute to a safety-first approach to printing.

The three step methodology

MPS Plus relies on a three step methodology.

With a standard managed print service, the provider will work to understand the paper and digital processes in your organisation and focus on making employees, processes and devices more efficient.

The MPS Plus process takes this a step further. When put to work in your business, it will:

• understand your people, processes and business requirements before any strategy is designed;
• execute changes to your existing system carefully and only with full user buy-in; and
• improve your infrastructure for the lifetime of the contract.

If an MPS provider delivers the same service and the end of the contract as they did at the start, they haven’t evolved with the customer’s needs.

MPS Plus will grow with your business and ensure optimisation isn’t a flash in the pan.
