How about a managed print program as your New Year's resolution?
Jan 1, 2018
Being able to properly manage your print services within the office means more than just logistics of paper, toner, and being able to have a reliable budget to keep everything efficient. There are all sorts of strategies that can be implemented for the best possible managed print services, so you don’t have to worry so much about the technology in your multifunction printer. For the New Year think of these five questions you can ask yourself and a potential MPS provider to have an even better managed print services strategy.
- Where and how do you save money? First things first, how can your business save money with managed print services? Where exactly in the budget will you see a significant change in how you’re spending each month? These are going to be the most important questions for any business, especially if you’re already working with a smaller budget and need to find a way to be cost efficient. Fortunately, the managed print services provider can tell you how and show you as well. That means saving money on paper, toner, software, and hardware.
- Is this the hardware you need? Be able to ask such questions to see if the provider will sell you the right kind of hardware for your business needs, rather than trying to up sell a product that might be too much both budget wise and efficiency wise. That even means the provider could potentially sell you a potential competitor’s product, all for the sake of making sure that you get what you truly need out of the deal.
- What growth will you see from MPS? Next to saving money, being able to grow the business as a whole with the right kind of equipment is another huge priority that you may be wondering about. Why not ask the provider what kind of growth and return on investment you will see from managed print services? If they can’t provide a true, valuable answer such as better efficiency and protection for important data, then it might be time to find another provider.
- What kind of support do you offer? Speaking of growth and streamlining processes, what kind of support should you expect once everything is set up and ready to go? Being able to have some kind of support for all of this new infrastructure, even if some of it is remote, is better than nothing at all and having to deal with the ramp up entirely by yourself.
- How is mobile handled in MPS? Another very important question for the modern office to round off this list. Mobile devicesare increasingly becoming the norm for any kind of business because of their ease of use as well as employees all having their own device they normally bring into work. How can this influx be handled, along with the managed print services? The provider should have all of the right answers.
