Why Consider a Managed Print Service?

And those are just a few common ways that organizations can get a quick return after signing up with a managed print service. Still, though most companies will see a benefit, it's not right for everyone.

Is Managed Print Service Right for My Company?
An MPS partnership makes sense for many business. However, there are exceptions. As much as we'd love to work with every interested team, we also don't want anyone choosing a service that truly doesn't fit.

Before deciding to commit to a managed print service, ask yourself these important questions first :
»   Do you know the total cost of your office's print production?
»   Do you have a security policy around printing and printers?
»   Are your printers and copiers managed by one central resource
»   Do you know what is being printed and where?
»   Is your print environment properly optimized the company's size?
»   Have you conducted a print assessment in the last three years?
»   Do you have a reliable expert on your team devoted to planning and executing print-related business goals?
Did you answer “yes” to every question? Congratulations! Your team already has a great grasp and awareness around your print environment. Since you've already got so many of your bases covered, it might not be necessary to hire third-party print management provider.

Still, it never hurts reach out and see if there are gaps that could be filled to even further reduce your print costs. It might also be worth considering an MPS to take some weight off of your busy IT team's shoulders allowing them to focus on other projects.

Did you answer “no” to most questions? Worry not! You're like the far majority of businesses out there—and an MPS partner can help you turn all of those noes into yeses.
