Earn an A+ by Implementing a Managed Print Services Program at Your School

We have all heard the news; under mounting financial pressure, state and local governments are cutting budgets and education is a large focus of these budget cuts. So what can school boards do to minimize the financial implications without sacrificing the education of the students? A logical first step is to cut operational costs.

Educational institutions are being encouraged to rebuild, innovate and improve the infrastructure of their operational systems. A Managed Print Service (MPS) Program can help manage costs, provide strategic control points, and consequently address growing budget concerns. A comprehensive site assessment, the first step in implementing an MPS program, can assist in better understanding and even uncovering unknown issues that could lead to significant cost saving opportunities for a school or district, such as unnecessary or under-utilized stand alone devices, inefficient large central production departments, and expensive, multiple current vendor contracts.

Educational institutions which migrate to an MPS program enjoy many Hard and Soft Cost benefits:

Hard Cost Benefits
S
tandardization of devices to simplify workflow and user interaction
Reduced energy costs and environmental impact by replacing older devices with newer energy-efficient devices
Less required maintenance due to higher reliability
Just-in-time supply replenishment for reduced inventory issues

Soft Cost Benefits
Reduced administrative costs for service and supplies
Improved document workflow
Simplified training and support
Department accountability by utilizing account codes or network credentials for access

Earn an A+ this year by implementing a Managed Print Services Program to save time, money and staff involvement at your school.
