Effective Document Management Solutions and Strategies
In the search for effective SOLUTIONS, examining your organization’s approach to managing printing costs is not always at the forefront of ongoing initiatives.
But the reality is that the right print management STRATEGY complements Electronic Health Records (EHR), Enterprise Content Management (ECM) & Enterprise Risk Management (ERM); improves employee printing habits; and significantly reduces costs, security risks, and IT management tasks.
The cost of printing is often overlooked
Printing is one of the higher expense categories, yet this spending is often overlooked and unmonitored, resulting in wasteful practices and unnecessary costs.
At Copier Analytics our experience has shown that developing and implementing an effective print strategy yields SIGNIFICANT measurable results and reductions in the total cost of ownership of 35 percent or more are possible. Typical results include:
- A 25-40 percent (or more) reduction in total print volume.
- Secure and confidential documents.
- System-generated reports being converted into electronic reports insuring proper Service Level Agreements management.
- A reduction in color printing
- A 30-40 percent reduction in toner and ink costs.
- Print asset consolidation and reduction of 25-50 percent.
Discovering the best path forward
Procuring printers and copiers is typically FRAGMENTED along each commodity and many organizations leave it to IT and/or Supply Chain staff to manage printing costs, usually at the device and contract pricing level only.
Copier Analytics has the expertise to help you analyze the demand side of print and strategically explore your organization’s printing habits and workflows.
With the right technology in place to MONITOR your organization’s printing, the analytics and reports will help to reveal the best path forward and Copier Analytics will ASSIST you in maximizing HIPAA and SLA compliance and in implementing best practices in managed print services.
Accept that print management is complex and that you may be overpaying…
…Frankly, something that sounds as simple as copying and printing is actually very complex.
…But we know how to untangle the spider-web of issues and make it crystal clear.
Vendors often surround their programs with window dressing to maximize their revenue and profit. Then they assure the customer they have received the best terms and pricing possible. As a result, the reality is significantly higher costs, under-utilized equipment and exorbitant service agreements, with most businesses actually paying way too much.
For many organizations, total cost of operations and fleet management of copier and printer assets is usually underestimated, and for many large institutions this is the third most expensive overhead item, after personnel and real estate, amounting to 3-4% of overall operating expenses (Gartner Group 2010).
