When to look at managed print?

An organization should look at a managed print strategy when they want to maximize their bottom line... that is the wise guy answer, right? Well according to industry studies, organizations are spending between 3-6% of revenues on internal printing! And a solid strategy can typically reduce costs between 20-40%, so assuming an organization with a $10 million in revenue is currently spending 3% on its printing, $300,000 and they implement a strategy that reduce those costs by 20%, that would put $60,000 back on the bottom line, not bad?

If your organization can answer yes to one of the following questions, then it may be a good time to consider a managed print strategy:

  1. Is your company in the second half of a copier lease?
  2. Do you print high volumes daily?
  3. Do you need a simple, cost effective source for equipment, service and supplies?
  4. Does your business model charge back for prints?
  5. Are you looking to upgrade your current printer hardware without a large capital investment?
  6. Are end users frustrated?
  7. Are IT folks frustrated supporting printers, are your talented IT professionals wasting their valuable time dealing with printers or copiers?
  8. Are you concerned because you do not understand how much you are spending on internal printing?
  9. Does it frustrate you that you can not accurately budget for the costs of operating your fleet of printers/copiers/fax machines?
