Managed Print Services: Why MPS?

Cost Savings, Control & Visibility

With all the demands placed on today's executives, reducing the cost of the output fleet (printers, scanners, fax machines, copiers, and multi-function peripherals(MFPs)) is not at the top of their list of priorities. We think this is a mistake.

The output fleet represents a significant annual expenditure and more importantly, a significant opportunity for savings. The average output fleet presents a low hanging opportunity for most companies to realize a savings of 20-30% that directly impact the bottom line.

How can Managed Print Services help?

A good place to start with evaluating how Managed Print Services can help is to determine your knowledge of your printers and output fleet.

• How many printers and MFPs do you have?
• Are your printers being used at or near capacity?
• How often are your printers out of service?
• How how long are your printers out of service?
• How much time is spent on printer related help desk calls?
• How old are your printers and other output devices?
• What is the total cost per page associated with each printer?
• What is the total cost of ownership associated with each printer?
• What is the average cost per page across all departments and locations?
