Understanding your business
In a fast changing business world, the one constant is competition: competition for customers, competition for time, competition for budget.
To prosper in such a climate, no business can afford to spend time and resources on inefficient or wasteful processes. Which is why more and more businesses are approaching Lexmark for help in managing and controlling their printer fleets.
In most organisations, print is still a hidden expense. Few companies even know how many devices they own, never mind what it costs to run them.
Even small companies will have a mix of network and standalone printers, copiers, fax machines and scanners, from a variety of manufacturers, with different consumable requirements and a variety of support contracts.
Managing such fleets is hugely time consuming, so it tends to be done half-heartedly, if at all. The purchasing of consumables is uncontrolled, no one takes responsibility if something goes wrong with a device and people's printing is unmonitored. This causes unnecessary expense, poor productivity and excessive waste.
Lexmark's experience in managing hundreds and thousands of printers for customers around the world shows that consolidating printer fleets, standardising on equipment from one supplier and monitoring and controlling printer use can reduce print costs by as much as 40%.
Gaining control of office printing enables customers to take advantage of all the features and benefits of Lexmark's printers and MFPs, from scanning, which can be used to improve customer service and speed up businesses processes; to in-house colour printing, which lets you create eye-catching marketing material on demand, without the fear of uncontrolled colour print costs.
It helps cut paper consumption, enabling businesses to reduce their carbon footprint and meet the demand for more sustainable supply chains; it provides complete visibility of print costs for simpler budgeting; and it improves data security by controlling access to devices and providing reports on usage.
Lexmark printers and MFPs are available with a full range of software controls and solutions that enable customers to monitor and control printer usage themselves. Alternatively they can be implemented in conjunction with Lexmark itself as part of a complete managed print service, with one point of contact, dedicated account management and the option of cost per page charging for complete visibility of print costs.
