Are you spending more by keeping your old, worn out printer fleet? It might be time for a print assessment to help get your office back into gear.Are You a Glutton for Printing Punishment?

You can’t help but notice how modern consumers are becoming increasingly reliant on technology to maintain their households. From groceries and pet food, to monthly staple items like toilet paper and paper towels — many consumers have relinquished the routine of schlepping these things to their homes.

I mean, we might be getting a great deal on those bulk paper towels, but let’s face it, no one really likes lugging them home! When it comes to the things we know we need on a regular basis, it’s just too easy to have these things come directly to us.

Yet, no matter how convenient something is, people still refuse to change and give up the control. They are just as happy going about their rituals no matter how much more time it takes. (I still manage to get stuck behind that one person who has to write a check in the grocery line every now and then.) I guess you could say that some of us are just gluttons for punishment.

In a similar way, at the office, the management of copier and printer fleets have become one of those “routines” that office and IT managers alike, love to hate. Whether it’s scrambling to find the right toner refill in the supply closet, or troubleshooting the tenth print error of the day, the routine tasks of fleet management can destroy productivity.

Just as destructive is the expense… In fact, 9 out of 10 companies report that they have no idea how much they spend each month on copies and prints.

Like the delivery of your dog food or your toilet paper, there is a better, more convenient, and likely less expensive, way — a managed print services partnership.

Through our unique managed approach, we work directly with you to develop a plan that allows you to focus on your growing business, instead of worrying about supplies and printer maintenance. Thanks to technology, we can use your own usage data to deliver the exact supplies and services you need, when you need them. We’ll also keep an eye on your usage as you go each month and make cost-saving recommendations to save even more.   

Our approach begins with a 4-step process:

Evaluate - We work directly with your team to understand your current printing environment, including the types and locations of your current equipment with respect to their actual usage needs. From here we develop a high-level plan to streamline your fleet.

Execute - After creating your customized plan, we put it into action, consolidating, relocating, or eliminating inefficient equipment all together. Many times, equipment is not properly placed within an office environment and relocating a device often leads to instant cost savings.

Manage - Once your fleet is stabilized, we will monitor it regularly so you can focus on your business. Things like service and supply alerts, and preventative maintenance, allow for expedited service response.

Optimize - We’ll continue to monitor your printing habits and report back on a regular basis to let you know how you are doing, and make any necessary adjustments. Our goal is to keep you operating at the peak of efficiency.

As fun as it is to manage your office fleet (and schlep pet food home from the store) we believe in making business operations seamless for our customers. There’s no need to make it harder on yourself, ask us today about an assessment for your office. It’s too easy!
