WHAT DOES A MANAGED PRINT SERVICE (MPS) DO?
For many businesses, having the proper printing hardware, parts, and supplies to support their output needs is a significant task. While some larger companies may have the financial and technical resources to manage this process, more and more are finding it beneficial to outsource this function to an external provider.
This can be done in several ways. Either as a hybrid of internal and external management or completely outsourced to an outside provider.
An external Managed Print Services (MPS) provider, like Allied, helps companies with all aspects of their printing processes.
We assess the company's needs, select suitable equipment and services, and provide support and hardware servicing. Additionally, we track and evaluate how well the printing processes are working to ensure we're meeting the goal of boosting workflow, productivity, and streamlined print reporting.
As an added benefit, external MPS providers will analyze usage trends of devices like printers and copiers to help companies save money and simplify their operations.
A reputable MPS company also provides IT services such as software installation, troubleshooting printer issues, managing toner inventory levels, ordering supplies when needed, and keeping track of warranties for maintenance contracts on equipment.
An external MPS provider can help businesses keep their printing processes flawless while saving them time and capital.
What are the Types of Managed Print?
An organization's printing necessities may be as simple as maintaining and servicing traditional office equipment, such as a fleet of laser and multifunction printers.
More complex production printers require support for assistance that involves generating a variety of mass printed media such as brochures, catalogs, or magazines.
