Inherent in managed print services is a regular
re-assessment of the corporate print environment. As with any
business best practice, scheduled comparative assessment are
necessary to stay on track competitively and strategically. The
primary objective is to ensure that the savings realised by managed
print services is being maintained.
For instance, your strategy may have a target of 7
employees per device. Without due diligence and constant attention,
this target can and will likely decline.
A comparative report card would highlight any
slide from target.
Reporting according to a schedule is
critical.
A report of the corporate printing environment
every 6 months will give a good guide to alignment with
targets.
When and if corporate printing behaviour aligns
with the corporate print strategy, the report card may become
annual. As a cost-effective approach, this report card can be
performed by any print management tool that continuously monitors
printer and printing activities.
The more you know about your corporate printer
fleet, the greater potential in cost savings. Continuous attention
to the printer fleet by managing print.
