Then through regular reviews true Managed Print Services is acheived. Some companies buy into MPS initially, but most I speak to are more comfortable with Fleet Management as a first phase.<BR/><BR/>We are new into this arena, but just my thoughts.<BR/><BR/>A far as machines in the field goes, many of the accounts we visit are not ready to replace their current MFP fleet due to lease end times. But garnering the clients trust in your partnership give the MPS dealer a shoe in for the next round of MFP replacements and sometimes reducing the number of printers with workgroup placements are a hardware driver. Or, as in our case, our product line is including more A4 machines that have great talking points for replacing a few printers with one unit.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I did much research before deciding our focused software product fo this.<BR/><BR/>Trevor, give James my greetings. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1936945586202903171.post-52483865940578639892009-02-05T02:29:00.000-05:002009-02-05T02:29:00.000-05:00Trevor - agreed.

And your tool is one of the best.<BR/><BR/>I am afraid that beyond 30 day before and after meter reads, most copier dealers can not support a true MPS division. <BR/><BR/>Most dealers will be looking for a way to bring in more equipment sales and inside a 30 day cycle.<BR/><BR/>A Real Managed Print Services Engagement, full bore, will look to REDUCE the number of Machines In Field.<BR/><BR/>If I look at the last 1800 machines that I have studied, spread over a few accounts, the average monthly volume comes to 5,100/month; 98% of the print jobs are on 8.5x11 and only 21% duplex.<BR/><BR/>When all costs are rolled in together(lease, CPC, overages) the average CPC gets to 0.08/image. Pity the poor client whose lease includes the cost of the previous copier fleet(residual).<BR/><BR/>Reducing the above cost is easy - even before looking at optimizing document work flow and reducing soft costs.<BR/><BR/>I guess my point is this: MPS is defined by those providing it. <BR/><BR/>And, I believe, those who look to MPS as a way to "pull through" more hardware are missing the point and providing a dis-service to there customers.Greg_Waltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10110815199532873459noreply@blogger.com
