Advanced Managed Print Services

The reality is that there more to Managed Print & Document Service than just remote meter reads, break-fix and consumables replenishment. However for many companies providing MPS that is exactly all they do, a solution that has been in existence for other 25 years.

Productivity

Many suppliers talk about being able to save you over 30% without any knowledge of your environment or procurement strategy and execution.

This is where Advanced are different. We deliver the next generation of Managed Print & Document Services (MPDS). The real value in this enhanced offering comes from reducing device redundancy, driving operational efficiencies and improving workplace productivity.

Key Areas of Focus

  • Proactive service delivery & incident management
  • Clearly defined SLAs and KPIs
  • Collaboration & Mobility challenges
  • Document management, capture and automation
  • Strong focus on document & information security including GDPR

What is Managed Print Services?

A correct Managed Print & Document Service (MPS) should be a multiyear contract with a third party for the outsourced management if a fleet of multi-functional products and single function devices like scanners and printers. The service would typically start with an assessment to drive right-sizing, proactive fleet management and the ongoing optimisation of the printing & imaging environment. Main benefits realised are generally based around cost savings, environmental, freeing up IT resource time and data security.

Without Managed Print Service

  • Unknown and uncontrolled print costs
  • Colour toner cost is very unpredictable and can be out of control
  • A separate process for service & supplies
  • Excess supplies on hand or not available when you need them
  • Multiple vendors and suppliers for consumables, service & account management
  • Very reactive approach to service always resulting in an onsite engineer attending on site between 4-8 hours, sometimes with no clear defined SLAs

Advanced MPS Benefits

  • Predictable costs
  • Fixed cost per page regardless of colour coverage
  • One point of contact for service, ordering and supply status
  • Just in time deliveries automated to be there a few days before you need them
  • One partner – One solution embracing all elements
  • Monthly / Quarterly reports detailing print activity to support invoicing
  • 30% of calls handled proactively by Advanced with downtime kept to less than 10 minutes. In the event of an engineer needed 4 – 8 hours with defined SLAs
