Getting your printers under control can be a massive undertaking. In many ways, it can be like trying to organize a class of first graders. There are soon many moving parts, and it can get overwhelming pretty quickly.

We have helped companies create, manage and organize managed print services for over a decade and would love to help your company in Chicago, Naperville, Schaumburg, Elk Grove Village or anywhere in the Chicagoland area.

Some of the things most companies begin to consider when they are thinking about managed print services include:

• How many printers are there? (Managed print is best when there are 10+)
• Where are the printers' locations? (one location or multiple)
• How old are the printers?
• What condition are the printers in?
• How many pages a month does each print do?
• What is the cost per print (to the 1/10th of a penny)?
• Is there a recycling program for toner cartridges?
• How do we buy new printers?
• When do we retire old printers?
• Is there a closet with a bunch of printing devices somewhere?
• What do we do about toners? (one on the shelf or just-in-time fulfillment?)

All of these questions are strategic managed print questions. We help our clients not only ask these questions, but to answer them, and more importantly, ensure their goals are being met as they pertain to these kinds of questions.

It may seem like managed print is simply a toner fulfillment thing, but really, true managed print is all about visibility of your assets and a passion to have the technology help you achieve organizational goals. Print management is more than just auto-shipping toners when they get low. Print management touches IT security, finance, tech support and operations. Every critical part of business is affected by a solid print management plan.

If you have questions about how we can help you with a print management plan in Chicago, give us a call. We would love to help!
