Malden, MO

Are you up to your neck managing your business? Maybe you already have staff to manage, technology, clients, taxes or social media, and yet there is something else that needs management. Have you looked at your laser printers? Managed print is something companies routinely need and often neglect. It isn’t because they don’t want things to run smoothly. It is generally because they are unsure how to manage their print.

We have been a print management company for over a decade. There are some critical parts to managing a print fleet you need to be aware of, whether you decide to do it yourself or hire a company like ours to help you with your managed print.

Establishing a Baseline

First, before you start making changes, you need to know what you have, how you use it and what it is costing. We have seen companies make unnecessary drastic changes because they skipped the steps of gathering a baseline of usage and costs.

Make sure this is part of the process for your company before you go out and get a bunch of new laser printers. We would suggest you know what your printers are doing per month over the last 30 days, 12 months, and life of the printer. (This helps establish trend lines of usage.)

Next, you need to see what the benefit would be of any suggested changes. This should be in real world dollars and cents. Rather than going from $.01 per print, the new printer will be $.008 per print. OK, that’s a start. Then you can multiply both of those numbers by the usage of the device and see if it makes a new device a good idea or not.
