What is IT Managed Print Services?
Managed print services is a program offered by print providers that address all aspects of your business printing devices, including printers, scanners, faxes and copiers.
Printing is an essential function in most businesses – but there is flexibility in how each company approaches printing. The approach you choose will affect your cost, level of responsibility and effectiveness. In turn, each of those variables influences future ROI, productivity and workflow.
Choosing a print solution that complements your organisation's needs and employee work requirements is very important, not only from a productivity standpoint but also for your bottom line.
The Numbers Speak for Themselves: Nearly 90% of companies don't track print costs; document costs represent between 5-15% of revenue; IT teams spend 15% of their time on printing issues; and supplier agreements can reduce operating costs by 20-30%.
8 Ways a Managed Print Service Program Benefits Your Company
1. Analyse Your Printing Needs
An MPS provider has experience analysing print fleets of all sizes. They possess specialised knowledge in printer fleet consolidation methods to ensure your business implements the proper equipment at an affordable price.
2. Reduce 'Local' Printers
One of the first things to be assessed is the need and use of local desktop printers. Typically, they are inefficient and more costly than realised. These printers only service one user and are rarely networked, making them ineffective in most business environments.
3. Streamline Printer Placement
Placing your printing equipment in easily accessible areas for an appropriate number of employees improves workflow and maximises device usage. Easy accessibility to this equipment is critical to the effectiveness of your employees.
4. Replace Inefficient Devices
We help you identify which machines are underperforming and replace them with energy-efficient, multi-function devices. We are knowledgeable specialists that know the best printing devices available for your business needs and your budget.
5. Automated Supply Delivery
Eliminate the need for manually ordering toner cartridges. Our MPS programs monitor your devices and automate the shipment of toner based on real-time consumption thresholds, eliminating equipment downtime.
6. Gain Predictability
MPS programs enable you to consolidate your costs (and vendors) into a consistent, transparent monthly investment. Partnering with Star IT Services eliminates unexpected repair fees and unpredictable printing costs.
7. Train Employees on New Technology
IT departments are often focused on strategic tasks. Training employees and fixing minor print errors isn't their top priority. We assist in comprehensive employee training and provide direct help desk support for all print issues.
8. Remote Printing
With mobile and cloud printing, employees can securely print from off-site locations or home offices, using any authorized laptop or smartphone. MPS providers establish, maintain, and provide troubleshooting support for modern hybrid workforces.
