Has your SMB looked carefully at the benefits of Managed Print Services? Most business leaders understand that there are cost savings to gain somehow, but they’re not sure how everything works together to make that happen. Others have heard about benefits like improved productivity and greener office practices.

No matter where you fall in the Managed Print line of thought, it’s worth taking the time to look at some of the major benefits, including lower costs, improved productivity, and environmental sustainability.

1. Cost Control

It seems logical to allow individual departments to order printing supplies and request equipment maintenance as needed, but this lack of oversight can lead to a host of problems. Managed print services bring costs under control by reducing unnecessary printing, consolidating purchases, and coordinating equipment maintenance and procurement through a single source. Companies typically see printing costs reduced by as much as 30%.

2. Improved Productivity

Issues like equipment downtime, workflow obstacles, and supply shortages can have a negative impact on employee productivity. Managed print services providers work with your staff to streamline printer fleets, eliminate device breakdowns, and keep the right supplies on hand.

3. A Greener Office

Did you know a green office is also a cost-efficient office? With managed print services experts on your team, environmental sustainability is part of the package. Check out these green, cost-saving measures from MPS experts.

• Replace outdated copiers and printers with energy-efficient models
• Turn on default settings to limit color documents and use less toner
• Implement policies and tracking software to cut back on non-essential printing
• Initiate recycling programs to keep toner cartridges out of local landfills
