Running a business is hard. Business owners are under increasing pressure to out-perform their competitors, hire and retain talented staff, master new social media marketing and find new customers. All functions of the business have to be efficient and streamlined in order to survive. Its tough, which is why there are dismal statistics showing that around 66 percent of new businesses will fail within the first 5 years.
While business owners are constantly looking outwards, smart business owners are looking internally too. Most of the time, being able to correctly manage internal processes and streamline operations is where efficiencies can be gained in the operation. This in turn empowers the business. Thankfully there are great technologies that are able to assist and offer the business great savings.
The HP Managed Printing Services (HP MPS) is such technology which is specifically geared to help small and medium businesses.
What is HP Managed Printing Services?
Businesses have a need to print and scan information as not everything can be digitized and some documents still require a printed-copy. With the price of printers constantly decreasing, printers are popping up everywhere in the offices making it a nightmare for IT admins to manage. Having these multiple unmanaged printers is open to abuse where unnecessary documents are printed and in some cases these documents are immediately discarded!
From calculating wear-and-tear, printer ink and toners, and maintaining your paper supply, the costs associated with your organisational printer and printing needs certainly do add up.
HP has recognized, that there are incredible savings to be had, if the printing environment is organized and managed correctly within the business which is exactly what the HP Printing Service does. It allows the business to take control. HP Printing Services reduces the operating costs and controls printer expenses while removing the headache of printer support from the IT team.
HP is a global solution provider and are able to bring world-wide industry best practices into every industry that deploys the Manage Printing Service. Therefore, depending on the work environment and industry, a saving in office printing of up to 30 percent is typical with a properly managed service!
Ultimately what the HP Managed Printing Service offers the business is an understanding of the way data, imaging and printing are being used in the organization. Printing is an element of work-flow that is not always seen but can be either highly efficient or highly inefficient if not managed. By deploying the HP Printing Service, these business work flow processes are exposed, allowing the business to make the required changes.
