Go Green, and Save Green, use Managed Print Services

It’s no secret that among the easiest ways to save your business money is to run more efficiently. This applies to all aspects of your business, but the printer and copier fleet is commonly overlooked. Several companies just track the cost of toner, and that can yield a large amount of savings on its own. But the savings can go much beyond toner alone. Managed Print Services (MPS) paired with eco-friendly; super efficient printers, can save money on paper, energy, toner, reduced downtime, increased productivity and more.
MPS, like the name implies; basically means you rely on a specialized IT company to help plan, implement and service your printer fleet. The advantage of having your printing network planned and managed by one vendor is that it saves a substantial amount of time fixing IT issues, ordering toner and implementing new document management systems. Imagine never having to order toner and the time saved by only having one invoice to deal with monthly; now this is being efficient.

Another technique of being more efficient is opting an eco-friendly printer fleet. Eco-friendly printers, such as Kyocera, can save up to 40% on energy costs when compared to other market leaders. They can also save you money on consumables. Using less toner and drum units reduces money and waste while helping the environment. The reduced waste is one reason Kyocera won the prestigious, MicroScope Award for Channel Excellence (ACE) as Environmental Company of the Year in 2008.
It Is not only about reduced waste; it’s also about reduced downtime. Nothing costs a company more money than downtime. When it comes to reliability, not all brands are created equal. For instance, the Kyocera KM-8030 printed 2 million pages with no unscheduled service needed. As a matter of fact, it only got a paper jam once every 166 thousand pages. Brands like Kyocera are more reliable and have reduced cost per prints which is why H&R Block has 10’s of thousands of them nationwide.
Lastly, if you really wish to increase your savings and decrease your impact on the environment, implement a document management system. Even the simplest document management systems will minimise paper and toner consumption and increase productivity.
The opportunity to save money and help the environment is obtainable. Even if your business’ printers are new and you believe you’ve an efficient printer fleet having an outside MPS vendor might help you see the base of the iceberg more clearly.
