Here are three of the biggest benefits MPS provides.
#1: MPS lowers operating costs.
If you’re not sure how much you’re spending on printing, you’re not alone. But chances are you’re spending more than you need to. Unmanaged print environments leak business funds and create waste. Printing expenses account for more than just your cost-per-page. When you consider costs for hardware, ink, toner, paper, and the often-overlooked cost of employee time to maintain your devices, it becomes clear that printing expenses should be managed and controlled. MPS can reduce your overall printing expenses by as much as 30 percent and puts you back in control of how much you spend.
#2: MPS provides accountability.
Do you know which department prints the most pages each month? How about which employee printed a 5,000 page report on your color MFP? Or how many ink and toner cartridges did your office use last year? If you don’t know the answers to these questions, you have an accountability problem. However, it’s a problem easily solved with a managed print solution. MPS provides all the print-tracking metrics you need to determine where inefficiencies exist in your print environment and helps you fix them. With MPS, you can control and track the number of pages printed by each user, color coverage, service reports, consumables used, machine alerts, and much more. This data-driven approach gives you the level of accountability you need to maximize efficiency and productivity.
#3: MPS automates printer support, ordering, and invoicing.
Too many print environments lack continuity and consistency. This might not seem like a big problem, but when you have lots of devices from different vendors, with different service contracts (or no contracts at all) and multiple printer-related invoices, you aren’t maximizing your resources; you’re wasting them. MPS will consolidate and optimize all the print and imaging devices in your office, as well as streamline billing into one convenient invoice. Support is also improved with proactive monitoring of printers, auto-supply replenishment, and on-call service.
These are just a few of the many advantages MPS offers over unmanaged print environments.
