Finding the Solution that is Right for your Company

In an environment where cost control is paramount why is it that so few organisations know what they actually print, who prints it, where they print it and how much it costs the company?

A recent IDC survey revealed that less than half of UK organisations routinely track hardcopy costs across the company, less than a third track the IT help desk and support costs associated with hardcopy and most do not utilise web and network tools to manage hardcopy devices.

Printing and imaging is the last bastion of unchecked and uncontrolled cost within the organisation. Companies could save between 13% and 40% of print costs per annum by adopting simple initiatives such as double-sided printing, utilising tools such as remote management software through to fleet rationalisation and opting for a managed print service approach.

The ability to lock down functions is rarely employed and user training remains a rarity. Companies are also missing out on the opportunity to manage costs in a more granular manner, for example through charging back.

The experts in the studio are leading IDC analyst Matt Marshall, Paul Fox and Neil Sawyer from Samsung. They will provide simple steps that can deliver significant cost savings within the organisation.
