Print Management Done Right and Efficient \u2013 Your Partner of Choice<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]Ahmad Alkasaby, Marketing Director of Saudi Xerox<\/a> talks about finding the right print management partner<\/strong><\/p>\n

Managed Print Services (MPS) are becoming increasingly popular and there is no question that when it comes to Print management partnering with a reliable solution provider, will yield a more comprehensive print strategy with more benefits.<\/p>\n

Print management has moved far beyond fixing machines and managing supplies. Now it\u2019s a key strategic consideration for your business, helping you operate more efficiently, cut costs, streamline processes and provide better service to employees and customers.<\/p>\n

Print management providers are raising their game, and offerings are constantly evolving to meet the needs of a fast-changing marketplace. But not all MPS solution providers are created equal, and you should take the time to properly evaluate their print management offerings<\/a> and find out whether they can meet the needs of your organization.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]1- When it comes to choosing the right company to handle our print management services What is the first criteria to assess a print management supplier?
\n<\/strong>
\nHow secure is their solution? A large number of organizations said they\u2019d had a print-related data breach. That\u2019s a pretty sobering statistic, and one we all need to be concerned about. Printing breaches could be anything from confidential information lying around in printer trays waiting to be collected, to unauthorized access of documents stored on your network or in the cloud. Not to mention the security challenges posed by the unstoppable rise of bring your own device (BYOD).<\/p>\n

Robust security is an absolute must when it comes to a print management solution. Be sure to ask your prospective provider:<\/p>\n

How they secure data as it moves from computers to printers<\/p>\n

How they release that information securely<\/p>\n

Whether or not they can set you up with access controls for different users<\/p>\n

Just as important, make sure their print management security works seamlessly with your existing security setup.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”4037″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]2- Digital transformation helps printers drive down the cost
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

During past weeks printing industry\u2019s heavy weights announced price hike on their products and equipment. Apparently, the price increase which impacts consumables as well as equipment is mainly due to the rise in raw material such as copper, aluminum, plastics, additives, sheet metal and wood, and higher shipping and logistics costs. Another reason is the global chip shortage. Worldwide, prices for many industrial metals and electronics have risen rapidly. Even wood, which is needed for packaging for transport, is in short supply. On the other hand, many paper manufacturers also have already announced price increase by up to 11%.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Manufacturers say the increase is moderate. Of course, moderate is a vague word and manufacturers and customers each have their own interpretation of the word.\u00a0But it seems the increase is in region of double digit.\u00a0 What does all this mean for printers who are already facing shrinking orders and customers? There is no doubt with the printing industry already under pressure and many print service providers struggling to maintain profitable margins, these price increases are likely to add additional stress to the financial picture for many printers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]3- What about reporting capabilities?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Print management solutions shouldn\u2019t take a set-and-forget approach. Your print environment is constantly evolving, so extracting insight from data is crucial for continuous improvement.<\/p>\n

In deed You should look for reporting capabilities that are dynamic: analyzing and monitoring usage in real time to help you improve security, accountability and efficiency. Ideally, you should be able to drill down to get to the detail behind the headline numbers and customize reports so they\u2019re directly relevant to your goals and KPIs.<\/p>\n

Look into report generation and schedules, as well as delivery mechanisms (e.g. email or dashboard). Also, find out if the print management company has the in-house expertise to turn raw data into business intelligence, so they can add value to your bottom line.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”4036″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]4- Does Print management suppliers in general offer a one-size-fits-all solution or a tailored one?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important when you\u2019re evaluating an MPS solution that you\u2019re getting true ROI \u2013 that you\u2019re paying for what you\u2019re using, but no more. A modular approach with flexibility is a must if you\u2019re to fully benefit from the cost savings the solution can deliver. You can add modules as your organization grows and your needs change. And just as importantly, you can remove modules if you need to scale back. This flexible, pay-as-you-go approach optimizes your return on investment and ensures predictable, budgetable costs. Make sure you aren\u2019t being tied down by a rigid contract.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]5- How complicated print management solutions are?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your print management solution needs to balance the sometimes-opposing needs of users and your IT department. Users want easy, friction-free printing anywhere, at any time, on any device. They should be able to access, route, scan and share documents easily and efficiently, whether they\u2019re on-site, on the move, or working from home. But that freedom and flexibility shouldn\u2019t come at the price of an increased burden on your IT department. They want a solution that\u2019s easy to configure and administer, as they add printers and users, and adapt to the changing demands of a busy print environment.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”4041″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]6- Are they scalable?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a key question to ask your MPS solution provider. No print environment stands still as a company grows and expands. New users, departments and offices, both at home and abroad, make for a complex setup. Add in new technologies and working practices, such as mobile working and a flexible, scalable approach is a must. So it\u2019s crucial to ask if there are limits on the number of MFPs a solution can handle, and how it will manage multi-site or multi-national infrastructures.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]7-\u00a0 assume cost saving is a crucial feature of MPS, how can I make sure the solution supplier is offering cuts the overall cost of day to day print operations?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make sure you ask your MPS solution provider whether their offering gives detailed insight into print usage and costs, identifying areas for savings and efficiencies. You should be able to get a detailed breakdown of usage patterns that you can slice and dice any way you want \u2013 by user, device, department, print server or office. You can see whether you\u2019re getting maximum return on infrastructure investment (analyzing under- or over-utilised printers), operating as efficiently as possible (with printer locations optimized for workgroups) and achieving economies of scale (ordering supplies centrally and proactively).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”4042″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]8- What if I opt for custom- built solutions developed in-house?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many print management solutions are developed in-house. On the face of it, that\u2019s great. The downside is that they\u2019re often not full-service offerings. So they\u2019re not as robust as a partner solution that\u2019s backed by industry expertise and extensive, hands-on experience across thousands of customers over many years. Custom-built solutions are often overtaken by the rapid pace of change and are unable to adapt to new technologies or scale with speed and ease. A partner solution is built on industry best practices, and constantly evolves to handle the latest technological advances and working practices.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]With so much choice among print management companies, asking the right questions is essential. Getting the answers to your questions will help you make the right choice \u2013 for your users, IT department, customers and business.<\/p>\n

Sezer says:\u2019\u201d Saudi Arabia is fast adopting accelerators of innovation like Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data analytics. The government and other sectors have laid out action plans for establishing the necessary infrastructure outlined by Vision 2030, clearly setting goals and recalibrating activities to fully optimize and leverage the kingdom\u2019s strengths in order to deliver digitalized services.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fact is that printing industry is changing and pandemic accelerated this trend. Printers also should be able to adapt to this new high-tech, multichannel world where print is part of a wider communication industry.\u00a0Saudi Xerox<\/a>\u00a0solutions offer best solutions to printers to achieve this.<\/p>\n
