Do you have control of your print costs?

One of the biggest challenges I face on a day to day basis is that clients understand they have a dramatic cost in their businesses which are associated to print but they feel its unavoidable mainly due to the lack of control and understanding as to exactly how this money is being spent.
Do you feel like this?
YOUR NOT ALONE! But what’s the answer?
A growing number of IT and Business Managers are working with Print specialists and operating Managed Print Solutions. I know what your thinking, but Managed Print isn’t about taking all of the printers away and giving you one photocopier for all the staff to hang around chatting. Its really about designing a tailor made solution that’s right for your organisation and provides a system that will promote a smooth working environment which benefits your staffs productivity. It’s not about working harder but working smarter.
Another statement I hear quite a lot is “We don’t print much, it’s not worth it for us”. This may be completely true I don’t claim to know the inner workings of your business but in recent studies carried out buy an independent technology analyst from Gartner they concluded that on average print costs a business 3% of its annual turnover. So for a business turning over ￡1,000,000 that means they spend ￡30,000 on print, seems alarming when you look at it like that doesn’t it?
Midshire Business Systems work with thousands of clients throughout the UK on Managed Print Solutions and on average we find this provides the organisations with the ability to manage these costs that generate an average saving of 30%. When you take this into consideration those same companies who were spending ￡30,000 on print will now be saving ￡9,000 and not having to do anything different! Now I’m not saying you have a Managed Print Service and you will get ￡9,000 back into your business but if somebody said to me I can give you money back and you wont need to do anything for it well that seems like a win for any business! So here we go “YOU CAN GET MONEY BACK INTO YOUR BUSINESS AND YOU WONT NEED TO DO ANYTHING FOR IT”.
