In a world full of business solutions, managed print stands out--and for a good reason. It's affordable, efficient, and flexible, and it can help you achieve your goals even outside the print environment. Still, it does require a little homework on your part--so is managed print really worth it? Let's find out!

Homework?

It's true: all print solutions require homework. They need to be researched, set up, and integrated--and chances are there will be a little troubleshooting here and there. Managed print is no exception, but the difference is in the type of homework you'll have to do. Take, for example, the print audit. This is usually the first step of any good managed print program, and it's great for analyzing your strengths, weaknesses, needs, and challenges, all while providing usage data from every corner of your print environment. Your job is to take those insights and decide how you want to put managed print to work. Essentially, your "homework" is to personalize managed print so that it fits your company inside and out.

The Benefits of Managed Print Services

So, now that you know what you'll have to do - is managed print worth it? Let's find out!

Budget improvements

A little work can go a long way when it comes to strengthening your budget with managed print. By identifying unnecessary printing, extra steps in your workflow, and bad supply habits (like over-ordering), managed print helps put you firmly in the driver's seat.

Workflow Improvements

Once managed print has been personalized to your exact specifications, it can start helping things run more smoothly in your day-to-day work life. For example, by helping you analyze your fleet, managed print can help make sure you have the right machines for your needs--and budget for upgrades, too.

Your company is in a long-term relationship with printing, so your print environment needs to be structurally strong enough to withstand growth, changes, and other uncertainties.
