Why Managed Print Services

The printing, copying and imaging of documents is the last unmanaged cost center in an organization. It consumes 1% – 3% of annual revenues – and it needs to be managed.

Who has the time to manage the pieces? Who has the expertise within an organization? Most organizations are working on significant technological and business process initiatives, but printing does not have any weight of importance because the mistaken perception is that things are okay.

When printing and imaging costs are tallied up, organizations find that Managed Print Services takes the ordinary pieces of printing and imaging and delivers a complete document technology infrastructure in an extraordinary way.
