Managed Print in Small Businesses: What You Want to Know

mps-small-business

Often, small businesses think that they can’t take advantage of the same benefits as a large company. For example, something like managed print services would only apply to a big organization that has a lot of machines.

However, that’s not necessarily the truth – if your business has one printer, maybe hold on looking for print solutions until you grow a bit.

If your business has a few printers and it seems like you are spending a lot of money on supplies, or maybe not sure how much money you are spending on supplies, then a solution like managed print would apply to your company.

Can Managed Print Help my Small Business?

Yes! Managed print can help your small business by saving money, improving print operations and processes, and setting up good print policies early on. Also, managed print starts out with a print audit, which helps to identify all equipment and locations and understand volume, traffic, and needs, and then evaluate labor, software, and other operational costs.

The print audit is a good place to start because it will immediately put the data on the table for current spending, potential savings, and better policies.

Will Managed Print Save Money?

With key features like better security, toner and equipment management, and major waste and cost reduction, managed print will immediately save your business money.

Over the long term, your company will save money based on having a consistent, reliable budget and keeping print supplies, orders, maintenance, and use within the bounds of those acceptable costs.
