Users of managed print services participate in a four-part process with MPS experts in order to create a package of services to help them reach their printing goals.

Assess
Provides a detailed overview of current costs and process workflows, along with maps of output device locations

Design
Recommends a future plan based on the assessment results with specific productivity, sustainability and security measures built it

Implement
Includes the execution of the plan in order to help users realize the benefits outlined in the Design phase

Manage
Helps organizations stick to the plan and adapt to any unexpected changes – enabling projected cost-savings and productivity gains to be realized

Outsourcing all or part of the print management process helps reveal hidden costs, identify savings and significantly reduce spending on output. Also, overhead costs are reduced with devices that use less energy, paper and toner and users pay only one monthly charge for actual page counts. Definitely each of these elements work together to build a successful and profitable MPS program for savings.

Today, organizations have a great opportunity to cut costs by implementing and managing the right MPS program that can achieve reduced costs and improved service. Done correctly, managed print services can be transformative. They can be a differentiator. It becomes apparent that the process steps leading to successful implementation are proven to provide cost savings designed to achieve printing goals.
