Managed Print Services - Creating a Better Print Environment 

Do you have the time and staff to proactively manage your print environment?

The total cost of printing represents a largely un-audited and uncontrolled business expense today for most organizations. Generally speaking businesses spend upwards of 3 % of revenue on their total cost of printing, On average, companies have one device for every 2.3 workers, The average age of devices is 5.7 years, On average, devices are used only 2% (about 15 minutes) of a typical day, and findings show that companies can face output costs of nearly $800—$1,000 per office-based employee in a paper intensive industry. ie Lawyers, CPA’s Insurance, etc..  Abrax’s Print Fleet Management program will identify, reduce and manage your total cost of printing.

We will also show you ways to optimize your printer environment. To manage you need to monitor and measure. OptiPrint is a remote management tool that allows us to conveniently and effortlessly track and monitor your print environment. We will help you protect your printer investment by reducing and monitoring print related costs, minimize downtime, increase efficiency and extend the useful life of your printer population.

Here’s How Our Managed Print Services Work:
STEP 1:  Define & Discovery: First, we electronically Inventory and Audit all your networked printers, faxes and copiers. We identify print volumes, consumables costs, maintenance costs and other printing costs such as outside printing. We also gather additional information such as I.P. addresses, firmware levels, printer utilization percentages, and current consumables levels. In essence, we identify all your printing costs and help set clear goals and priorities.

STEP 2:  Analysis: Next, we analyze these costs and establish an average cost-per-print of the total pages you output per month, categorizing this data by printers, copiers, faxes, etc. Printer usage surveys detail each printer’s page output volume (recent and lifetime) as well as consumables usage and associated actual costs. This financial and operational analysis will summarize the issues and costs associated with your current methods of document production and distribution.

STEP 3:  Strategic Plan: Then, we provide you with a detailed strategic plan for reducing, and managing, your printing costs and increasing the efficiency of your print assets. It is important to choose the right technology to fit each specific situation. This plan also provides for the automatic remote monitoring of all your networked printers and copiers for toner levels, error codes and maintenance alerts. It also includes scheduled reporting on printer per employee usage, costs and repair information to measure the attainment of the plan’s goals.

STEP 4:  Implementation: We then collaborate with you to establish an implementation plan, and schedule the implementation of the recommended strategic plan.

 STEP 5:  Improve & Control: Periodic review following the implementation. We will meet with you periodically to review and analyze the progress of the strategic plan towards attaining the specified goals and cost savings.

STEP 6:  Contact us.
