Managed Print Services Definition:
Managed Print Services cover all aspects of a company’s printing with the anticipated result of saving time and money. These savings are achieved by analysing an organisations printing requirements and providing them with more visibility and control of their printing at both the input (data/information going in) and output level (what is actually printed). This results in printing less and therefore reducing the amount of ink, paper and energy used.
The Managed Print Service includes the management of print devices such as printers, scanners, copiers and multifunctional devices as well as document management and workflow solutions to improve the company’s print environment.
How will I save money with a Managed Print Service?
Organisations can save significant revenue by taking a more strategic approach to their printing. These cost savings can be made in organisations of all sizes, from SMEs to large enterprises. An example of the cost savings that can be achieved within a large Public Sector organisation can be seen in our case study with Avon and Somerset Police who reduced their printing costs by £650,000 through adopting managed print service.
In simple terms a Managed Print Service will save money by helping a business to achieve the following:
Printing less:
- Less ink toner used
- Less paper used
Purchasing less:
- Less print devices required (consolidate current fleet)
- Less ink and paper purchased
