Even with the recovery of endowments, the effects of the recession will be long-lasting. "We must be realistic that even when state economies return to pre-2008 levels, the level of support for higher education will not return, "The fear is that we'll end up with the worst of both worlds, - cuts in funding and more intervention by government."

Let s start with some questions How much do you spend on equipment how about supplies? When you thought about supplies, did you consider inventory carrying costs? Did you consider the time it takes to find the part number and order it? How about shipping? And what about color? Don t know how much it costs, just that it s expensive? Don t know the answers? Good news: You are not alone. A typical business spends up to 6% of annual revenues on document management. 90% of all companies do not know what they are currently spending on internal desktop and network printing.

Managed Print Services Optimization The Impacts of Printing MCP
Financial Impact Printing Cost total 1-3% of annual revenues * Print Volume is declining at 1-2% per year** Related Costs For every $1 spent on printing it takes another $9 to manage it*** The Cost Equation If revenues and profits don t increase at the same rate as the rising cost of documents, the result is eroding profits Annual Revenue Average Annual Print Spend $10 million $100K to $300K * Gartner Group ** IDC *** All Associates Group
Environmental Impact Paper, Toner and Power One case of paper (10 reams) uses approximately 60% of a tree* Production of 50 lbs. (5,000 pages/1 case) of copy paper produces 143 lbs. of green house gases* Three quarts of oil are consumed in the production of a single new toner cartridge and they take over 1,000 years to decompose** Millions of square feet of landfill space is consumed with used toner cartridges, paper, and printers that could be recycled.** *printgreen.com ** State of California Office Employees Pages per Year Trees per Year Greenhouse Gas Emissions 100 1 million 120 282,000 lbs
Productivity Impact Work Flow Old drivers not compatible with new applications Materials not in stock Broken Devices Documents not delivered Delays Customer responsible for having materials available
IT Impact Maintenance Burden 15% of their time on printer related issues* Required driver updates for multiple models/brands of printers Not trained as printer technician Pulls them away from projects requiring their expertise * IDC
Managed Print Services Optimization A Sensible Strategy MCP
Manage Expenses Outsource Management of the Printers Reduce the high cost of IT s involvement with printers Reduce administration of the fleet with one vendor providing one invoice a month for the pages printed Reduce wasted materials Reduce downtime Protect the technology investment
Minimize Carbon Footprint Green Printing Recycle toner cartridges, paper, and printers diverts millions of cubic feet of material from landfills The recovery and reuse of toner cartridges and paper saves power through less manufacturing* Use post consumer recycled paper Reduce materials inventory and the associated waste Utilize alternative inks to laser that have less environmental impact Approximately 50% less energy is used by one multifunction printer than the combined annual consumption of the individual products it replaces * State of California
Boost Productivity Improve Workflow Integrate document workflow software into your departments to improve business processes Proactive service and supplies maintenance increases output device uptime and increase user satisfaction Having the right materials and devices in the right locations improves document output productivity Multifunction devices (print/copy/scan/fax) High-speed production printers Color
Free Up IT Resources Reduce the printer burden Remote monitoring software reports device status and errors reducing IT help desk calls Outsourced service eliminates IT from spending time on issues not requiring their expertise Up to 50% of IT help desk calls are printer related IT help desk

Implement a full-service MPS program Assess Design Implement Manage Strategic Approach 4 Step Business Process Technology Integration Brand Agnostic MFP/Printers Production Devices Optimization Focused Full service: Ongoing Assessments Device to Employee Ratios Best Practices Help Desk Support Acquisition/Replacement Management Reports
Stop Buying Without knowing what you have, what you are doing with those devices, and what those devices are costing, adding more devices generally does not solve the problems or reduce the costs related to printer fleets Discovery Due Diligence Conduct an assessment of print devices resulting in a report that details the current usage, costs, and issues related to the fleet of printers
Outsource the Printer Management Without remote monitoring technology and an expertise in printers, companies are best served by outsourcing this non-core maintenance and management function to a qualified partner Optimize the Infrastructure With reporting of usage trends informed decisions can be made regarding the consolidation of print assets, the strategic placement of MFP s to increase productivity and software solutions to improve user productivity
