Get the Most from Your Printer Fleet

According to estimates by Gartner Group, companies typically spend 1-3% of their annual revenue on printing. At the same time, businesses often underestimate their printing needs and printing-related expenses. Without having measurable cost controls in place, your office’s budget can become needlessly high. It's important to understand your print needs and adjust your print environment accordingly.

At COECO, we specialize in helping companies operate more productively and cost-effectively. Our Print Management solutions allow your business to realize large savings of up to 30% on total in-house printing costs. From our initial assessment through to solutions, we can help you gain insight and control over your print environment.

Getting Started With Managed Print

When implementing Managed Print for the first time, the best place to start is at the beginning! While Managed Print solutions will vary from company-to-company depending on unique needs, the first step in the process is always the print environment analysis. This analysis provides insight into your current operations and helps guide decisions regarding your printing to provide cost savings, security improvements, and increased transparency.

What Does Managed Print Do?

Managed Print encompasses many things, from printer care to workflow changes and security improvements.

COECO’s Print Assessment

Print Management starts with an assessment of how you currently manage your print devices. The assessment answers three key questions:

  • Which users and departments print the most documents, and how often are they printing?
  • Which of your printers get the most use, and which ones are underutilized?
  • What is the calculated cost per document printed?

This assessment gives you a clear picture of device usage and print volume as part of your daily workflows. With this information, you can learn a lot about your current print practices. These insights allow you to make better decisions regarding your print environment and related costs.
