Are you considering utilising Managed Print Services (MPS) for your business, but feeling a little bit overwhelmed or put off by some of the things you have heard on the grapevine?
MPS can do a lot more than just delivering ink and toner every month, they can help businesses to reduce their print output, improve efficiency, and cut costs amongst many other benefits. Although sadly, there are still many misconceptions out there surrounding MPS and all that it has to offer.
Here, we have compiled a list of some of the most common misconceptions about MPS along with the facts to help you make an informed decision about whether or not MPS is the right choice for your business.
Managed print services cost more
Many business owners make the mistake of thinking that MPS is out of their budget and is going to cost the earth. This is quite often not the case. The truth is that MPS can work out much more cost-effective as there is usually no initial outlay needed to invest in expensive printing equipment.
Managed print services are only for large businesses
This might have been true ten years ago, although this is not the case today. Nowadays, with such a wide variety of print devices out there to suit all kinds of budgets, smaller businesses now have the opportunity to reap the benefits of cost-effective MPS too.
I will have to fork out on multiple new devices
While there might be some investment needed, MPS providers will not usually insist that complete print fleets are replaced, unless it is absolutely critical.
When you enlist the help of an MPS provider, there is not always a need to replace all of your existing equipment. Quite often, your provider will assess what you already have in place and if it’s efficient and compatible, will attempt to include it in the new setup. Of course, any redundant equipment will be replaced with better quality and more cost-effective devices.
The upfront costs of MPS are too high
In most cases, there are little or no upfront costs associated with an MPS program and you will usually end up saving money that you were originally going to have to spend investing in new devices.
As MPS packages are designed to suit each business’s specific needs in order to improve their processes, most providers will always try and work within your budget to make sure that the costs always stay affordable.
