Printing is a critical part of your company’s IT services, and almost each and every employee is directly impacted by the efficiency and quality of printing. Paper jams and toner outages are responsible for a frustratingly incalculable loss of productivity. Smudgy, grainy and unclear print outs can confuse recipients and defeat the very purpose of print documentation.
But Managed Print Solutions, is a service which addresses all these problems. A Managed Print Solutions (MPS) provider, takes complete ownership of your print infrastructure. The MPS provider would purchase the printers, do routine preventive maintenance and also replenish the consumables, thereby ensuring that your print infrastructure keeps humming away efficiently.
23% of all calls to the IT Help Desk are printer related. 15% of time of a company’s IT team is spent on printing related issues. And these are statistics from IDC internationally - aren’t things even more worse in India?
And what about the time spent in scrutinising POs, Invoices, etc from multiple vendors for printers, for consumables and for maintenance contracts across regions and branches?
