Chesapeake, VA

As you put together your IT budget, you will likely see a lot of familiar items. For example, you may have the cost of the IT company that services your account. There could be the cost of cloud services you purchase. Maybe you have hardware like copiers or servers you pay for monthly.

As these costs add up, you come up to a total budget or target to take care of all the IT. Often, one of the items that is missing for clients is the cost of their laser printers. It is not because they don’t believe in including those numbers. It is because they don’t really know what to expect when it comes to print costs.

Benefits of Managed Print for Chesapeake Businesses

You will find one of the major benefits of managed print is getting a clear understanding of where your printers are (asset control), what your printers do (user behavior) and what your printers cost. Anything that doesn’t really offer an insight into all three of these items falls short of what managed print should bring to your Chesapeake company.

You can imagine how neglecting any of these would leave an incomplete printing picture for your business. If you had no idea how many printers you had, you wouldn’t know when you’d need to replace them or have any idea what it would cost.

If you knew, for example, the current replacement was $1,500 each, but had zero idea how many printers you had, it could be a tough pill to swallow when you learn you have 30 printers and need $45,000 plus installation in the next two months.

Managed print needs to be realistic and transparent in order to help you plan and make the right business decisions for your company.
