Description
Understand the concept of managed print services and how it reduces operational expense.Many organizations have decentralized and segmented management of their print devices (copiers, printers, fax machines and scanners). There can be multiple avenues for endusers to procure devices, supplies and service that very often lack controls over total print cost to organizations. As organizations look for business process improvements and cost savings, a document management services program can be both financially sound and operationally effective. This topic will discuss the concept of managed print services and how it reduces operational expense, contributes to improved print device utilization, improves service levels and ultimately reduces the amount of printed material. The tendency to overutilize print devices is reduced through a centrally managed program providing user department print device assessments and print utilization expertise. You will be able to articulate the savings opportunities, operational efficiencies and environmental sustainability that can result from a successful program.
