Is your print fleet functioning at optimal efficiency? Are you on top of ordering toner, ink, and paper? Are you aware and in control of your monthly print expenditure? If not, it could be a sign you need a managed print service.
Here are five signs your business could benefit from a managed print service.
What is a Managed Print Service?
A Managed Print Service (MPS) is an outsourced, comprehensive solution that oversees and manages an organisation’s printing and document-related needs. The primary goal of MPS is to optimise a company’s print environment, reduce costs, enhance productivity, and minimise the environmental impact of printing.
1: You’re Not Sure How Much Your Business Spends On Printing
Are you aware of how much your business spends on printing each month? Many organisations do not realise there is an opportunity to cut costs within their print environment.
A managed print service provides detailed reports that help you track your printing usage and costs. With this data, you can make informed decisions about print-related expenses and manage them more effectively.
2: You’re Always Running Out of Printer Supplies
Do you constantly need more toner and ink? Or maybe you’ve accumulated a cabinet full of unnecessary supplies in fear or running low? If you always need more consumables or order way too many, you know it’s time for MPS.
An MPS provider will monitor your paper and toner use and implement automated delivery, ensuring you have the right supplies when needed.
3: You Have Too Many Printers
Do you have multiple devices within your fleet that all share the same functionality? Or maybe you have separate devices for printing, copying, and scanning? To effectively optimise your infrastructure, it is essential to understand the functionality and usage levels of all devices.
MPS providers will design a print solution that consolidates and upgrades your printer fleet for better resource utilisation. Not only will this save vital office space, but it will reduce costs associated with maintenance, repairs and consumables.
4: You Have Security-Related Concerns
Do you constantly worry about your printer’s security? It’s a widely known fact that an unsecured printer can increase your risk of security breaches and malicious attacks. If you are worried about data breaches or hacks, then a managed print service is the perfect solution.
MPS will help you identify weak points in your security processes and implement solutions such as document encryption, device authentication, and secure print release to help protect your network and data.
5: You Spend More Time Fixing Your Printer Than Actually Using It
Do you regularly find yourself fixing paper jams and troubleshooting persistent printer problems instead of focusing on business-critical tasks? Excessive downtime due to technical issues indicates that your business needs a managed print service.
An MPS provider will proactively manage and maintain your machine, promptly fixing technical issues on-site. This means you can free up your time and focus on what’s essential for your business.
