Print Management Services
Managed print services (MPS) providers help businesses optimize their print fleet, including printers, copiers, and fax machines. This comprehensive service includes an assessment of the print environment (also known as the print infrastructure), deployment of both existing and new hardware across the organization, proactive management of devices (e.g., performance analysis, repairs), and restocking of “consumables” (e.g., paper, ink cartridges, etc.). For businesses with a sizable print fleet, whether in a single office or spread across multiple locations, these services can consolidate print-related tasks into a single point of contact and funnel costs into a single invoice. These providers will ensure that all equipment stays functional at all times, with minimal waste or employee involvement. Office managers can work with MPS providers to monitor and maintain all print devices, determine which devices need repairs or replacing, and generate predictable monthly expenses for company-wide device usage.
Working with an MPS provider can help eliminate unnecessary costs, minimize equipment downtime and complications, improve sustainability practices, and offer extensive insights into company printing habits and general demand. They can also ensure ink and paper are always stocked without requiring constant orders through multiple vendors.
