Managed Print Boosts Workflow Speed

Your printer probably makes an appearance in many office workflows during the day. Whether the marketing department produces some mailing content, the finance department prints quarterly budgets for approval, or the legal department prints out contracts for signatures, your printer gets a front-and-center seat in a variety of workflows.

But do you ever feel like your printer is a bottleneck in the workflow? Or perhaps paper-based workflows, in general, aren't working well for you. Managed print services can analyze and assess these workflows, giving you the opportunity to identify inefficiencies. Stop relying on processes that gum up the gears. Start a managed print services program.

How to Implement an Effective Managed Print Services Program

The first step to an effective managed print program is to find a good vendor to work with. A managed services provider (MSP) is your trusted team and partner when you start your optimization.

Here are the typical steps a MSP takes to implement managed print services:

1. Assess. In this stage, your managed services provider will look over current workflow and office equipment and identify inefficiencies and gaps.
2. Plan. Your MSP will then present a plan for improving your current print environment.
3. Implement. Once you've approved the plan, your MSP will implement a complete overhaul of your print environment and replace any needed equipment.
4. Optimize. This final step is an on-going one: your MSP will optimize your print environment by monitoring and tracking your print environment.

Your managed services provider is an expert on workflow and how to include effective technology in your business. Bring them on to your team with a managed print services program.
