Properly designed and executed managed print services can save your company as much as 45% of your current printing costs.
Managed Print Solutions
Managed Print Solutions are a service offered by an external print provider (like Blueprint) to manage your organisation’s document output. A Managed Print Solution agreement means Blueprint takes on the entire burden of managing your printers, and multifunction devices.
You get a single bill, a single contact, and a cost-effective package that lets you know how much it costs to print each page, taking into account print hardware, consumables, service and support, and (where applicable) print management software that will actively reduce your print volumes.
With a Blueprint Managed Print Solution you’ll get:
a consolidated, fit for purpose printer fleet - so you’re not paying for unnecessary equipment
consistent and transparent costs so you can budget more effectively
visibility, tracking, and reporting of all printing and copying so you know who’s printing what, and to which devices
ongoing service, support, consumables, and supplies with a single point of contact
competitive financing to make budgeting much easier
mitigation of the risk of vendor lock in, so that your business is not tied to one office equipment manufacturer
With the right MPS partner you could:
reduce print usage and costs
gain visibility and control of your fleet
reduce unnecessary printing with intelligent software solutions
achieve environmental sustainability objectives
automate repetitive business processes to help you become a more efficient business.
