One of the biggest challenge many Australian SMBs face is procurement cost of on-premise IT equipment. Printer hardware and recurring need of supplies and maintenance is a challenge. Moreover, there are other concerns too – productivity, lack of control and security.
Managed Print Service (MPS) from Bus ICT takes into account the entire printing process and optimises it for reduced costs and efficient operations. Several of our clients have already benefitted from it in many ways.
Streamlined Print Process
As a managed service provider, we begin with the analysis of your print fleet. With our specialised knowledge in printer fleet consolidation methods, we ensure that the business implements the print hardware optimally. It also takes into account various printing needs – scanning, printing, copying and faxing.
- Identification and reduction in the number of local printers. These printers are non-networked and are meant to be used by just one user, that makes them inefficient. They need unique cartridges, that makes them costly.
- Effective printer placement makes it easy for many employees which improves the workflow and maximises the device usage. The employees don’t have to waste time walking across the floor for print. An easily accessible device increases the effectiveness of the employee’s manifold.
- Monitoring of devices raises alerts on any changes like low toner levels and machine error codes. It helps to instantly identify the machines that are not functioning properly and replace them with efficient devices. We know which printing devices would be the best for your business and employ them only.
- Automated delivery of toner cartridges before they are at the brink of exhaustion. We monitor the devices closely and automate the shipment of toner as soon as the amount of toner reaches less than 25 percent.
- Single point of contact for any print related issue. In most cases, there are hardly any issues as they are resolved even before they become serious.
Savings From Reduced Costs
A big challenge with maintaining individual devices is the high cost of management. Once we streamline the process, doing so at a large scale becomes a lot easier.
Managed print service connects the entire array of devices into a cloud-based system that save the business operations against any potential downtime.
Once the thorough audit is done, it identifies the best way to consolidate the hardware. Well-placed devices across the organization use more space and electricity. It also reduces the cost incurred.
Saves Employee Time and Improve Productivity
The printing needs of the various departments vary significantly. Once we assess the specific needs of your organisation thoroughly, we come up with a tailored solution specific to your requirements.
Bus ICT takes several preventive measures including automated re-stocking process to make sure that your employees don’t have to worry about getting stuck without print. Managed print service makes sure that services are easily scaled as per the needs of the business.
Most Optimal Use of Print Resources
Many of our SMB clients who were using their IT departments to manage the print activities were wasting 15 percent of their operating time in managing the print hardware.
At Bus ICT, we make every effort to make the optimal use of print resources while creating an MPS solution. This saves a lot of time for your IT department and keep them focussed on their core activities.
Brings Predictability to Budgeting
Many Australian SMBs that we serve were struggling to clearly budget for the print-related expenses. There was no clear fixed monthly cost due to which the expenses often went untracked.
Managed printing solutions from Bus ICT consolidates the costs and ensures that you are not spending as and when basis. There is a predictable monthly subscription cost that easy to budget. Subscribing to MPS put an end to unpredictable cost.
Eco-Friendly Print Solution
Every business small or large has to contribute towards environment sustainability. Traditional print process often leads to wastage of paper and electricity. It’s worthwhile to know the environmental impact of this wastage.
- A single sheet of paper requires three gallons of water and all such wasted sheets cause significant damage.
- Use of non-Energy Star printing device consumes more electricity than those with Energy-Star rating – that impacts environment adversely.
Managed Print Service also decreases the negative impact of print activities on the environment. As MPS partner, we train your employees on reducing the paper wastage that reduces the carbon-footprint significantly.
