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.

Office Zen
Zen is perhaps the most annoyingly overused term in modern conversation, but it does have its place. In this case it’s the value of simplicity. In our modern business world technology has become ubiquitous, and usually it has been purchased in a reactionary manner rather than a carefully executed plan. This has left many companies with purpose specific devices from many different manufacturers and IT departments mumbling something about new models in a corner. Enter the teachings of Zen. By working with a well informed technology provider and perhaps more importantly your IT department, it is possible to not only drastically simplify your device infrastructure, but drastically improve productivity at the same time.
Point Proven
According to Photizo Group, a leading industry research firm, perhaps the largest driver of hardcopy costs in most organizations is having too many printing devices. While one device for six workers is considered optimum for most office environments, a recent study of 105 North American firms found an average of one device for every two knowledge workers. In their white paper titled “Hidden Assets” they detail this and other inefficiencies that contribute to overspending and high document output costs. View this document
