Question: The Most Costly Portion of Document Output is?
A) Equipment Acquisition Cost
B) Supply Costs
C) Service Costs
D) Administration and IT Cost
Answer: D
Industry analysts generally agree that printing, copying, faxing (Document Output) is expensive and the costs are largely undocumented and unmanaged in most firms. The total cost of document output (measured by adding up acquisition, supply and service expense) is somewhere between one and three percent of total revenue. Acquisition, supply and service expenses are easily measured. However, the costs of managing devices across business networks are much larger and more difficult to measure.
IDC research estimates that for every $1.00 spent in document output costs (acquisition, service and supply) firms spend $9.40 in IT support, administration and document management. So the answer is D BY ALMOST 10 TO 1!
If workgroups use varied equipment, the cost can increase quickly. Multiple equipment often entails more training, IT expense, multiple vendors, contracts and service options; increasing managing complexity. It pays to try to simplify the equipment and support options.
To plow through the increasing rush of daily information, corporate employees today typically spend up to 45% of their day working on paper and electronic documents. Multifunction printers can play a huge role in streamlining duplicated and often cumbersome processes but it’s extremely important to pick the right mix of equipment for your business.

DocuSense announced today they’ve signed a 5-year agreement with the Philadelphia Inquirer to provide print managed services for all their locations.
Under the agreement, DocuSense will be updating all of The Philadelphia Inquirer’s office printer equipment and providing a simplified “cost-per-page” billing. “We are able to cut their office document printing costs and refresh their equipment with newer models at the same time” said Donna Melso, President of DocuSense. “We’re reducing the variety of devices the Inquirer uses from 20 different types of equipment to 5 basic models.”
DocuSense will provide a monthly report showing print/copy volume and cost. “The Inquirer wanted to get a handle on costs and spending for the equipment in all of their offices”, explained Melso. “Using cost-per-page, DocuSense will provide this data and, at the same time, shrink dozens of monthly purchase orders and invoices to just one. That’s Complexity Simplified.”
DocuSense (formerly Laser Supply), celebrating its 20th year, is a Hewlett Packard authorized vendor and Xerox Peak Elite authorized partner. DocuSense consults with clients to help them understand, manage and reduce their office printing, copying and faxing costs.

DocuSense Customer Portal Makes it Easy to Order Supplies!
One time-saving function of the Customer Portal at DocuSense is the ability to order supplies without knowing the part number of the item you need. Customers can enter an order just by looking up the device they need to supply.
Here’s how it works.
- Once logged in to your account
- Click “Enter Sales Order”
- Then click “List Equipment”
The DocuSense Customer portal looks at all the items you might need to purchase for the selected device and displays them on the screen along with their yield and your negotiated price.
This is valuable for a couple of reasons.
1) Higher capacity supply
If you are looking for Hewlett Packard supply items, these supply numbers typically end in “X” or “XX” and they can sometimes double the yield of the supply item while adding only a little to the cost. Other manufacturers like Xerox and Lexmark etc have similar higher-yielding supplies and you’ll easily see the choices listed for those items as well. Buying increased capacity supplies is a great way to save money.
- Eliminate guess-work.
We’ve done all the work for you and as long as you’ve picked the right equipment or model, you can’t make a mistake in ordering the wrong item.
BOTTOM LINE:
The DocuSense Customer Portal is up and running 24/7 and it’s very easy to use. All you need to do is click here to get a login and password or call us at 1-800-422-0080.
