6.4 OPTIMISATION
Best practices focuses on optimising the number of hardware manufacturers, the number of models, the number of suppliers & service providers, and the number of devices. The objective is to increase device throughput and yields and to reduce inventory costs due to assets and toner supplies.
The direction of managed print services is to reduce:
total costs
the amount of printing
the number of devices
the number of manufacturers and models
the number of vendors.
Any vendor providing a regular report card on the client’s printing may have an inside advantage to increase the number of devices managed and to offer additional services in other areas of managed print services.
