Why should one printer-copier work harder than the others?
It causes more problems than you’d expect. The popular machine has more documents in the queue, which slows things down. It uses more resources like paper and toner, which need more frequent restocking, which also slows things down. Most of all, the machine wears down faster, which requires more service, which, you guessed it, slows things down.
Managed Print Services looks at your entire print ecosystem. (Yes, ecosystem. We nerd out for your benefit.) We think about workflows, traffic patterns, peak rates, usage patterns, and more. Then we metaphorically pull the levers and fiddle with the dials and present our recommendations for the most efficient printing network within your organization.
Between our own observations and some industry research we uncovered some stats.
In most businesses, printing is the 3RD HIGHEST EXPENSE behind payroll and rent.
Up to 50% of all helpdesk calls are print-related. (Spare your I.T. team.)
On average, companies that are on a Managed Print Services Plan spend 30% less than companies without one.
Most businesses throw out thousands of dollars of unusable ink/toner per year. (It expires.)
On average, employees print 10,000 pages per year.
40% of printers purchased were never approved
