ed Print Solutions

Uncontrolled print environments are estimated to account for between 1% and 3% of an organisation’s total revenue – yet it is often an area that is literally left to its own devices.

Printers and copier technology in the majority of businesses has evolved by necessity, rather than by design. Resulting in an infrastructure made up of devices from a diverse range of manufacturers with a large inventory of varying supplies. With IT budgets constantly being cut, it’s often believed that cost savings can be made through the deployment of new technologies and techniques. But in truth, it’s understanding how your existing technology is being used, and how money is being spent that is critical for making cost savings – right from the company-wide daily usage of printers and imaging devices, through to where they are situated, and the volume of consumables being ordered.
