Managed Print Services

Altek Business Systems can help you to develop a cost-effective print management strategy to increase document output while lowering total operating cost. Our experienced sales and technical professional staff can consult with you on:

• Right-sizing your document output fleet;
• Consolidating your toner, ink and output-related purchases;
• Properly locating devices to increase efficiency while reducing overall costs.

When Altek Business Systems prepares a managed print services assessment, we consider three key components of print management:

• Standardization: As organizations grow, it is not uncommon for new devices to be brought into service without old devices being taken out of service. In a mixed environment of old and new devices, the management of each of those devices can be very different. By standardizing device platforms, management of your printing equipment can be made much simpler. Moreover, end users will not need to learn how to operate multiple hardware types and can focus on their day-to-day tasks instead of wondering how to print their documents.
• Consolidation: Employees like the personal convenience of desktop printers. Oftentimes that personal convenience is at the expense of the organization’s bottom line. Usually, the smaller the rated print volume on a particular device, the more expensive that device is. Small, personal printers can cost as much as four or five times that of departmental printing devices. By reducing the number of personal desktop printers, not only will you save the need to manage so many different devices, but often the consolidation of the print volume can realize significant cost savings in toner, parts, and maintenance costs.
• Location: Departmental printing devices are less expensive to operate than small, desktop printers. By positioning appropriately-sized workgroup printers and multifunction systems throughout your organization, you can increase efficiency as well as reduce overall cost.
