Examining Print Spending and the Solutions Available

Money spent on your companies printing might not seem like a significant expense. Many think the costs associated with print are only paper and toner cartridges, but that’s not true.

Gartner research once did a study which revealed that companies could reduce print-related costs by up to 30% by addressing inefficiencies. Many businesses are not even aware of the money they annually spend on print, not taking into account supplies, maintenance, and operation costs.

Cutting Down Print Costs

To start the process of cutting print-related costs, you need to know where your business is currently at. Receiving an audit will inform you of how effective your print process is. The software will be installed on your server to monitor metrics over time to examine how efficient your current method is and how it can be improved.

Another part of the audit process is analyzing the devices your company is using. This is a great way to figure out how well your machines are functioning and if there are options available to cut costs.

Managed Print Services

Managed print services are a cost-effective, proactive way to manage your print process. It also gives you a hands-on business partner to assist with repairs and supplies – keeping your staff focused on work – not your printer. When print management is outsourced, your company is equipped with a print expert who is concerned with seeing your business’ printing be productive and cost-efficient.

All Shapes and Sizes

Regardless of your business’ size, managed print services have incredible benefits to offer. Whether it be for the sake of regular print functioning or for when disaster strikes and a machine goes down, managed print keeps your printing process going and allows your employees to focus on what matters.
