It’s rare for an enterprise to have a coherent plan for managing its printers, which makes it difficult to predict the overall cost of consumables without monitoring and accounting tools.
The enterprise printer market is anything but organized, even though printers represent a large capital and operating cost for IT organizations. Printers are purchased in a wide variety of ways—including centrally, departmentally and individually.
Even if there is centralized purchasing in place, it’s rare for enterprises to have coherent plans for managing their printers after they arrive in their buildings. This makes predicting the overall cost of consumables difficult unless a company employs monitoring and accounting tools.
