Implementing MPS: Managed Print Services Process


Every client is unique, so to begin the process we need to complete a full and totally free audit to uncover your needs, requirements and existing printing environment. This enables us to come up with a streamlined and cost effective solution.

Our objective will be to analyse all business-relevant document flows in order to increase productivity.

With that said, there is a typical process that we go through with all our clients. To give you an idea of how implementing a Managed Print Services solution might look for you, we’ve listed the standard process below.

The process is a collaborative one, designed to have minimum impact on your staff.
