MPS: it makes business sense - take control of your print environment - Reduce print related costs by up to 30% - Improve productivity of your printer and copier fleet - Ensure you never run out of consumables - Have repairs and maintenance managed automatically - Enjoy peace of mind with network and data security - Improve staff productivity - Access the latest technology For years, the Gartner survey has consistently revealed cost as a top-three CIO priority, but never at number one. It seems obvious to me that this is because reducing costs simply isn’t an end in itself. Its importance lies in enabling other things: creating efficiencies and freeing resources for transformation and growth. The use of technology and information in business is changing so fast, the pressure’s really on for IT departments to respond effectively. To do so, though, they may need to first root out unnecessary cost wherever it lurks. Often it lurks in unconsidered places. Cost reduction has always been a major driver for managed print services (MPS), but the focus tends to be on the obvious costs: hardware, maintenance and supplies. There are five areas of cost not always perceived as print-related, that really are. They’re larger than the obvious costs and offer significant scope for savings through MPS: - Organisational productivity - Procurement and administration - Environmental sustainability - IT service desk - Storage and office space If you would like to know more about our Managed Print Services visit http://www.fujixerox.com.au/solutions/documentservices/managed_print_services.jsp or call 13 14 12.
