Outsourcing Your Print Management

color-copier Reasons to Outsource Your Copiers and Printers

Ever wanted to outsource the management of your copiers to experts of the industry? In doing this, you can lower your printing costs and have greater convenience. What are the obvious and not-so-obvious benefits of outsourcing your printing needs? First, the greatest benefit is knowing how much you spend on copying. Considering 50 percent of the documents are not even read and sent into the recycling bin, it makes sense to eliminate that waste.

Second, you receive user support with this method. If you have questions about a copier, you typically have to call the IT support department. 30 percent of the calls to a help desk are related to printers. The problem with this? Your IT staff may not have a clue about how to answer your question. This can slow down your productivity rate, and it takes IT staff away from the most critical initiatives at your business.

With outsourcing, you eliminate this inconvenience. Finally, we look at hardware. A lot of employees buy the least expensive printers thinking they are saving the company money. However, it is the total cost of ownership over time that must be considered and managed print services can help with that.
