Think you understand Managed Print Services? Maybe… but not if…
- You buy new equipment because it’s faster
- You’re willing to upgrade the old machine because you’ll save monthly on your lease
- Your copiers/multifunction devices are handled by a different department than your printers
- You buy color-capable devices instead of monochrome because it’s just a little more money on your monthly lease

- You still don’t know how much you are spending monthly for all copies and prints
- You don’t have a plan to decrease volume

Sadly, hard costs are just a small portion of the true price of printing/copying representing just 10% of the overall cost. See the bigger picture by going to our previous article.

I can’t remember the last time I felt good after reviewing a prospective client’s copier fleet billing. Last week I saw yet another example of the type of abuse companies routinely receive at the hands of their copier dealer. This client has 30 machines, all of them 11×17 tabloid-capable tanks. Here’s an example of one of their typical devices. (more…)

You wouldn’t try to run your office outdoors would you? Why not? Because of an uncontrolled environment. So, if a controlled environment is an obvious benefit in that respect, why wouldn’t you want to apply the principle to every aspect of your business.
You control your financial environment through fiscal policy; your work environment through human resources policy, and on and on and on. Now, what if I told you you were hemorrhaging money from an uncontrolled environment in your business.
