How Do Managed Print Services (MPS) Work?
Many business owners don’t realize how much they’re really spending on printing expenses because they don’t keep track of their system. Americom’s managed print service solution uses printer monitoring to optimize your existing hardware, pinpoint inefficiencies, and significantly reduce costs.
If your business has printers available for employee use, you spend a portion of your budget on printer hardware and supplies like paper, toner, and ink. Though your printer costs may seem minimal, you might be overspending on each printed page. Many businesses use inefficient, high-dollar printing systems that don’t fit their needs or their budget.
Business owners that want to optimize their printing system and identify areas for improvement can hire an outside company like Americom for managed print services (MPS). We offer a variety of services as part of our MPS program, including:
-
System assessments: We assess clients’ existing print systems and identify problem areas in their process. During our system assessment, we determine how to use your existing printer hardware in the most efficient way.
-
Action plans: After we assess your current system, our team creates an action plan for reducing costs, implementing new services, addressing issues, and adjusting printing permissions.
-
Software implementation: Americom helps businesses implement print management software, which allows our team to monitor supply levels, device errors, and employee printer usage.
-
Print fleet monitoring: We keep track of your print infrastructure to ensure your system is running smoothly. If we notice device issues, we automatically alert your print supplier and help troubleshoot the problem.
-
Supply management: Our printer fleet management software notifies us when toner and ink are low. We can proactively manage your supply levels and ensure that every printer will be available for use when needed.
By partnering with Americom for MPS, you can keep track of every aspect of your printing strategy. Our monitoring software data helps you reduce print costs, manage issues, and get the most out of your equipment.
