Managed Print Services (MPS) Myths
“Desktop printers are so much cheaper than large printers and MFPs. There can’t be any room for savings…”
This is where a lot of businesses are confused. Many are correct in assuming that the one-off purchase price of a desktop printer is cheaper than that of an MFP, but the ongoing consumables, maintenance and operating of the desktop machines is far more costly.
“MPS is just like my break-fix agreement with a few added extras…”
There are companies operating who will sell their break-fix contracts as a Managed Print Service, but this is not what WCC Business Solutions defines as MPS.
With WCC Business Solutions, your MPS is exactly what you want it to be. We can take on the responsibility of all your print fleet management, or we can simply monitor your consumable levels, and maintenance checks.
“MPS is fine for now, but as soon as things change I’m back to square one. This is just a short term solution”
A good MPS provider will be on hand to review your solution regularly. Through regular monitoring and account management, WCC Business Solutions can scale and redesign your fleet structure to fit your business.
Our service flexibility isn’t restricted to reactive monitoring. If you foresee changes in your business, such as restructuring or downsizing, we work with you to establish a solution to suit your changing circumstances. WCC Business Solutions is takes a proactive approach and works with you to deliver the best solution.
“MPS is risky to outsource and I feel more secure leaving it in the hands of our IT department.”
There is very little risk involved when compared with your current, decentralized print management structure. Should things go wrong with your machines or drivers, it’s far better to call in a print professional who knows exactly where the problem is.
Company IT departments are often very busy and would prefer not to be burdened with extra responsibility outside of their expertise. It is far more secure to transfer all responsibility to an MPS provider who is an expert in dealing with all aspects of the print process.
“This is just another thing for me to manage and take care of. I do not want all the extra responsibility”
PrintSmart is exactly the opposite. By partnering with our team of experts, the responsibility is taken out of your hands. One monthly bill will outline ALL costs incurred by EVERY machine. This not only reduces the management burden on you but reduces the workload of your administration and accounting teams who currently process a variety of invoices every month. It also means you never have to worry about servicing, repairing or replenishing your machines again. We take care of everything!
“PrintSmart sounds like a standard, one-size-fits-all solution”
Each PrintSmart solution is unique to you and your requirements. While some features are common across our customers, you can select which features you want to include, and we tailor a specific solution just for you.
