(Newswire.net — September 23, 2013) South San Francisco, CA — Managed business services play an increasing role in American companies, with fully half of U.S. businesses currently taking advantage of the benefits of managed print services, a figure that continues to trend upwards. The print management group of Advantage Enterprises offers a free managed print services white paper that details the many reasons why more and more companies are turning to MPS to reduce costs and increase employee productivity. A custom managed print services proposal as part of the managed print services RFP process lays out for businesses the specific ways that a managed print solution will improve efficiencies and benefit their bottom line.
With tight budgets still being the norm for most U.S. businesses, gaining insight into expenses with an eye towards controlling costs is essential. Advantage Enterprises begins every managed print services proposal with a comprehensive printer fleet assessment to identify opportunities to reduce expenses, optimize printer capacity, and increase the availability of all imaging devices. One of the key benefits of managed print services is discovering how workloads can be rebalanced and redundant printers eliminated to increase productivity without investing in new equipment. Advantage Enterprises uses advanced benchmarking metrics to give clients a clear view into the cost of maintaining their current fleet so they can make informed decisions about whether to repair or replace faulty printers.
Prevention is at the core of any high quality managed print services proposal. Consistent remote monitoring ensures the health of the imaging fleet, while routine maintenance prevents costly problems and increases output quality. Timely on-site repair services maximize printer uptime; Advantage Enterprises is proud to have a first time repair call resolution of over 95%. Outsourcing printer repair, maintenance, and optimization to an expert print management group also greatly reduces staff time invested in printing, including the valuable time of IT staff. When submitting a managed print services RFP, organizations are advised to request information on how to reduce supply costs as well; simple solutions like duplex copying can tremendously reduce the cost of paper, which benefits both the budget and the environment.
