6.1 PRINT STRATEGY
Purpose of a document and print strategy
  • Reduce costs by managing printing.
  • Assessment and strategy development should be supplier independent.
Supplier goals are to sell more devices and associated consumables.
The strategy decision tool should therefore be independent from the hardware vendor
  • A high degree of objectivity.
  • Focused on business needs. (NOT hardware technology)
A Print Strategy includes
  • Baseline print costs
  • Recommendations
  • A solution extrapolated throughout the University
  • Methods for measuring results of implementation.
The corporate print strategy should be revisited every 3 to 5 years.
A proposal for more services and/or hardware does not constitute a strategy. .
