Business challenges
Knowing the cost of printing and copying is the first step to controlling it, which should be as natural as controlling the travel budget since the cost of printing and copying typically is significantly higher. To get to this point, it is critical to know where the cost is spent today, to enable control of future cost.
Secure print is today as natural a demand as integrated devices for print and copy (MFP), and can be integrated with the device so release of print and access to copy is done on the user interface, and of course fully tracked, logged and controlled.
Key Challenges
- Waste of resources due to ineffective printing and copying
- Knowledge on current cost of printing and document management
- Awareness of the cost of printing
- Ineffective use of color for jobs where it’s not needed
- Optimize the use of existing devices
- Cost recovery where this is possible, Client Billing or Academic
- Increase productivity by releasing print at the most appropriate device
- Minimize cost by Rules based Printing e.g. auto delete of duplicates
- Security so jobs only are released and picked up by the owner
