Is this a question you’ve been asking yourself as a business manager? Or is this a new concept – bringing production printing back in-house? Either way, it’s time to raise the issue.
Digital printing used to be expensive, it was cost-prohibitive to procure the equipment, and it required a professional on staff to initiate and monitor printing.
Times have changed, and printers have come a long way.
It's no secret that making significant changes to your print environment can save lots of money, and make your workplace run smoother. It's fair to be a little skeptical though – wondering how exactly managed print has such great benefits.
Managed print addresses print issues at the forefront – cost, supplies, and repair. They start with extensive data from a print audit to understand where you are with print spending and processes, and where you want to be.
Your document management systems just got way easier with capture and content management solutions. Congratulations! You are way ahead of the slow pack, and ready to keep pace with the digital competition.
However, there’s another obstacle for fully adopting content management in some organizations, which is getting team buy-in.
Human resources is an essential function of any office. However, it’s also important to remember how complex human resources is as a function. They evaluate personal information, collect more data, and communicate with employees through secure channels. They may also be privy to private personnel matters and have documentation that supports those issues.
With that, it’s more secure to have a paperless HR department than to continue with hard copy. Hard copy documents can so easily be lost, duplicated, misplaced, stolen, and more. Also, they take up a ton of storage space.
Finding information on production printing is a little challenging – it’s not always clear exactly what type of business it may work for, or how the implementation process will go.
Here’s some basic info to kick off the conversation: print jobs become production print at around 110 pages per minute for black and white and 70 pages per minute for color.
What kind of company can benefit from having an in-house production print team? Almost any company, yours included. Read on to see how it can benefit you.
You have most definitely heard about managed print, or are aware that it is a popular office solution for printing. But are you still wondering if it’s something your office can benefit from?
If so, one of the first things you should do is take an honest look at your print environment. As you evaluate it…thinking about machines, individual machines, traffic flow, supplies, repairs, you’ll start to see the complexity involved in print.
Content and capture are important aspects of a business, especially when you are taking part in a bidding process, or if your company depends on content management.
Although reducing paper is a great way to save in general office operations, print is still the most effective tool for specific operations where print has been streamlined to be more useful than when it was just casually used for everything.
While the digital office is easier for workflows, print is still king when it comes to marketing, advertising, and other visual functions. Print advertising through images, sayings, and large creative displays is still the ideal way to tell your company story.
Did you know that your company can save up to 30% by taking action toward finding more print savings?
It's true – office print environments can be a sinkhole for excess costs, and the best way to get ahead is to team up with professionals to find all the holes.
You can identify inefficiencies, unnecessary costs, inflated charges, and excess printing, which will equal print savings of anywhere from 10-30%. Are you in?
Content management is closely tied to customer experience in any industry. Knowing how high-quality communication can impact business growth and customer interaction is key to staying competitive.
