It is very common for companies to work with third-party suppliers for all sorts of services these days. From IT support, to HR, accounting or marketing, there are companies that provide services to support businesses with some of the common problems they face.

One of the areas of business which is generally not managed really well is printers. This is where we come in. We offer managed print, which essentially means we make sure your printers are running at optimal efficiency, and we help remove waste from the system you are using.

The Assessment

When we first go into a company, we look at what you are doing now. Not every decision needs to be changed. There may be 75% of what you are doing now needs no real change, but within the 25% that does need improvement, 80% of the potential savings are right there.

We believe in managing printers with an understanding of how a business runs. No one runs their business to make their printing as efficient as possible. You run your printers to make your business as efficient as possible.

We look at a snapshot of where you are today and have a conversation about our findings, so you can see what we are seeing, the potential cost of how it is being done today, and if you want that changed.

Sometimes, there are bigger reasons than printing costs to pay a bit more to keep the company running better. We have seen that, for example, on invoices that need to be sent out.

The CEO was more concerned with the branding of the company than the extra cost of having the logo in color. They were sending out 1,000 invoices a month, and the invoices could have been in black and white rather than color, but the CEO thought it was worth the extra $60 per month ($720 per year – $3,600 over five years) to keep them in color.

A small decision like this can have a big total price tag, but there can also be reasons not to change it. Print management is about helping you know the cost of these decisions and allowing you to have the choice of what you think should be the policy based on the costs.
