The amount of information the world prints is growing at an astronomical rate. By 2010, 52 trillion pages are expected to be generated each year by business alone—a 13% gain over 2005—at a cost of $160 billion. How much will your organization—whether it’s a private company or government agency—spend in that time?
On average, organizations spend as much as 5% of their annual revenues on their printing environments, but most don’t know what the actual figure is. Too many companies or departments order and install printers, copiers, fax machines and scanners independent of any print management strategy, leading to confusion, waste and low productivity.
In a February 2008 report, Gartner Research noted that actively managing your printing environment can reduce your annual costs 10% - 30%, a potentially significant savings for most companies. Many of these savings are achieved through active management that includes consolidating the company’s present fleet of printers, copiers, scanners and fax machines into newer, fewer, more efficient multifunction devices. An active management strategy also includes implementing centralized management of the print environment and network integration for easier end-user access, higher efficiency and reduced help desk costs.
