School systems are continuing to experience a reduction in the resources that they have at hand, which is leading to continued cuts in many areas. Managed Print Services (MPS) from Datamax Arkansas are allowing schools and other education institutions to identify areas where overspending is prevalent, and implement a plan to help reduce costs and reallocate funds that were otherwise being lost to areas where they are most needed.
Managed Print Services can help schools in a number of different ways, from getting an accurate read of what is being printed to the automation of supply ordering, so that you are only ordering the supplies you need, right before you actually run out. This means that you will never again have a supply closet full of unnecessary supplies that have the possibility of becoming useless should you ever implement new printing equipment.
Reducing printing through MPS is simple; here are the primary steps of Managed Print Services:
- Print Audit: The Print Audit phase paints a picture of how printing is conducted within your school, showing where printing takes place and what is being printed on a large scale, as well as down to the individual user.
- Print Management: The way that you manage your printing will ultimately decide how much you save. If you take the necessary strides to reduce printing throughout your school administration you will end up saving significantly from your annual printing budget. Identifying unnecessary printing and implementing permissions based printing are just a few of the many tools at your disposal to optimize your printing environment.
- Continued Monitoring: One of the most important steps that many businesses miss is to continue monitoring and measuring, further enhancing your printing efficiency. The longer you work with the Managed Print Services program, the more you will save! Over time you will truly maximize savings and eliminate the majority of unnecessary printing from your school.
