Despite more and more businesses making the move towards paperless working environments, digital printing remains an integral part of many organisations’ work processes, and on average, UK office workers are still printing 25 pages a day.
However, alongside the costs associated with this, there are also environmental and time-management issues to consider – meaning managing your own printing systems may not be the best option for you and your business.
Thankfully, there is a far more efficient solution, namely managed print services. And with this in mind, here are some key benefits of using a managed print service:
Reduced costs
The most obvious reason for using a MPS is to reduce your current printing costs. Many business owners are unaware of how much printing they’re carrying out; however, your MPS provider will be able to advise you on how to control your printing practises and as a result, reduce costs. In fact, here at Elite Office Solution we’ve helped our customers reduce their printing expenditure by over 50% on average.
As well as this, using out-dated printing systems can cause unnecessary expenses. A good MPS provider will carry out a thorough inspection of your printing equipment and advise you on the best equipment to save you money in the long run.
Improved efficiency
With an external provider managing your print service, you can free up valuable time for you and your staff. There’s nothing more tedious than trying to sort out a broken printer; however, your provider will ensure that your devices are at their optimum, minimise downtime and can advise you on best practises to keep your equipment in top condition.
Heightened security
Security has never been more important for small and medium sized businesses and your provider will be able to properly implement and manage your device’s security features, as well as implementing their own preventative steps - giving you and your business peace of mind.
Environmental benefits
Businesses are becoming increasingly more aware about the impact their practises have on the environment and a MPS provider can help you make more environmentally-friendly choices when it comes to your printing, from reducing wastage, to minimising printer electricity consumption.
