Print Services Review
Independent expertise in the ever-changing world of Print Services
Agile working – the new normal?
It’s a new world and things are never going to be quite the same as we get back to “normal working” post Covid.
Business leaders need to think about which roles they absolutely need to have in the office, and plan accordingly. And the workplace that those employees will be settling back into won't look the same as the one they left a few months ago.
The existing hardware employees utilised to support their work, such as printers and Multi-Functional Devices (MFD’s), won’t be deployed or used on the floors in the same way; and neither will the contracts that underpin them.
When supporting a client through a Print Services review, extra emphasis needs to be put on:
• right-sizing your current MFD / printer estate and associated costs in light of agile working
• renegotiation of existing (long term) print contracts. Don’t feel trapped with a contract shaped to a world we no longer inhabit, and a service you no longer need
• enabling remote workers with creative and secure print along with document collaboration solutions
• accelerating the digitalisation journey to paperless / paperlight
• business continuity planning from a print and hard copy perspective
• assessing the opportunity to streamline manual processes with workflow solutions.
• providing comprehensive detail around security of information (home and office)
We will provide guidance and best practice methodologies to help support your firm along this journey.
