Xenith’s Managing Director discusses recent innovations that a Managed Print Services provider can bring to your business
In this video, Xenith’s Justin Milligan talks about a new service coming on stream within Managed Print Services (MPS), called Managed Supplies Service. If you’re still managing some part of your printing fleet in-house for whatever reason, and don't wish to make the switch to a fully managed environment, you will be well aware of how time consuming and expensive it can be to order and store toner.
It’s for this very reason that Xenith has introduced Managed Supply Services. For nominated print devices of any brand, Xenith will proactively supply toner - effectively cutting out the tiresome task of monitoring your devices, ordering toner, storing it - while providing immediate savings that average 20%. .
Print costs remain a sensitive issue, and particularly where businesses are undergoing digital transformation programmes. Whether it’s concerns about the impact on an enterprise’s carbon footprint or the ongoing expense of print consumables, business can often find itself struggling to deal with the burden. Despite moves to digital information, 1-3% of a company’s annual revenue is taken up by print costs.
A Flexible Partnership, Not A Straitjacket
But it’s not really about cost. It’s about the flexibility that businesses need to manage their document infrastructure and safeguard business continuity in a period of flux.
Forward-thinking Managed Print Services providers such as Xenith are already aiding clients with the digital transformation process, stripping back print wherever possible and replacing it with digital workflows. And while the provider digitises key processes, MPS providers can support any residual print-based workflows and print infrastructure to the level required by the business.
Critically, businesses that employ MPS providers are the most confident about paper-to-digital integration – 77% compared to 56% of those yet to take on a provider, according to Quocirca’s Managed Print Services Landscape 2015 report. With all that print-based expertise, MPS providers can help smooth the digital journey, by designing change programmes that take legacy workflows fully into account. And that means minimal business disruption along with minimal print costs.
Takeaways:
- Partner with a MPS provider to smooth the journey from print to digital.
- Managed Supplies Services will source the most cost-effective consumables and deploy them automatically.
- MPS is expanding its services all the time to meet technology and business changes.
