What are managed print services (MPS)?

Managed print services (MPS) is a program where a provider takes responsibility for managing your entire print environment, including devices, supplies, service, and usage monitoring, for a predictable monthly cost. Allied Business Solutions MPS shifts businesses from unmanaged to managed print environments, typically saving 15–30% on print-related costs.

How much can managed print services save my business?

Allied Business Solutions Managed Print customers typically save 15–30% on their print-related costs. Most organizations can save up to 30% right away by shifting from an unmanaged to a managed print environment. The EPA estimates that 17% of printed pages are never used, representing significant unnecessary cost in most offices.

What does Allied's managed print service include?

Allied's managed print service includes a complimentary print assessment, device management to maximize uptime, automated supply fulfillment, preventative and proactive maintenance, help desk IT support, automated meter collection, fleet tracking and reporting, cost-per-page billing with one monthly invoice, quarterly business reviews, flexible options to add new devices, greener print strategies and cartridge recycling, rules-based printing for cost containment and security, and device mapping for usage optimization.

How does Allied's print assessment work?

Allied deploys print monitoring software to collect fact-based reporting on your actual print volumes and costs. The assessment evaluates usage patterns, security risks, document workflows, and supply re-ordering procedures to identify opportunities to reduce costs and improve employee productivity. The print assessment is complimentary and available at allied.tech/assessment-request.

What problems does managed print solve?

Managed print services address five common problems in unmanaged print environments: no user restrictions on printing, low cost visibility, multiple vendors, IT resource drain, and no cartridge recycling program. By shifting to a managed print environment, businesses gain control over print costs, usage, and sustainability.
