Scope * Managed Print Services are defined as the acquisition of a customer's printer fleet by a vendor, which then supplies printing as an in-house service. * MPS is a classic way of swapping 'capital' for 'operational' expenditure, allowing costs to shrink in line with business requirements. Highlights Large and medium-sized organizations are making significant cost savings through adoption, both through the consolidation of printing activities and through leveraging the vendors' greater scale economies. Cost savings are made by simplifying vendor management, sometimes replacing hundreds of suppliers with a single contract, through reducing the amount of user intervention and rationalizing printed output as part of your business processes. Reasons to Purchase * Understand how to reduce the total cost of ownership related to printing infrastructure. * Learn how Managed Print Services vendors position themselves and help their customers be more flexible and cost effective.
