The Importance of a Print Management Strategy
An average of 1-3% of a company’s annual revenues are consumed by document production.
Rising costs in virtually every area of business challenge executives to find ways to reduce overhead without harming productivity. Optimizing your office print environment is a strategy to cut expenses without sacrificing productivity.
While the economic impact of printing is clear, there is also large environmental, productivity, and IT impacts.
The average office worker consumes 10,000 pages per year, the equivalent of 60% of a tree.

Data Driven Solutions &
The Power of Analytics
Print Assessment
The assessment process is where the magic happens. This multistep process is where we gather key information about your organization, your printing habits/needs, and your goals. We take this information and create a customized printing solution that is tailored to you which will likely result in lower costs and higher print efficiency.
This process takes time, but is essential in creating a solution that will drive results and help you grow. The key of a good assessment is bringing the full picture to light and then finding a way to improve what was discovered.
Device Mapping
A unique step in the assessment process is collecting maps of all your buildings that show where current print devices are, what make and model each device is, and its function (color printer, fax machine, MFP, etc.). We use this map to help evaluate the current state and plan for a future state.
This may result in a significant downsize in total number of devices and is where a large portion of cost is saved. Each device is strategically placed in your organization to ensure employees around each device have the functionality they need and are within close proximity to the device.
Powered by Analytics
We help you harness the power of your data through analytics to help your workplace be more efficient, you employees more productive, and your data more secure. With the help of powerful print software we can collect data and analyze many aspects of your print environment to identify areas that need improvement and fix any issues that arise.
A complete analysis of your print environment includes print inventory and utilization, device comparative analysis, environmental impact, user-to-device ratio, and what-if modeling. Analysis is a powerful way to improve security, productivity, efficiency, and sustainability.
Auto Toner and Rhyme Device Management
Rhyme Device Management (RDM) is a powerful tool that lets us monitor your printing fleet that removes the hassle of ordering supplies and requesting service from your hands allowing you to focus on growing your business. Auto Toner Replenishment (ATR) notifies us when you’re running low on toner and automatically puts in an order for more, reducing overall costs by eliminating the need to constantly maintain an extra inventory of print supplies. The tool also automatically notifies our service department when service is required for a device so they can send someone out and get to you quicker resulting in less downtime.
