Focus: in February 2009, the group launched its first paper, which aims to de-mystify managed print, and illustrate the benefits MPS can provide to any organisation wishing to reduce printing costs and their carbon footprint, and increase efficiency and security standards: 'Managed Print Services: A Business Tool for the Information Age'.
The second paper 'Procurement and Governance of Managed Print Solutions' launched in October 2010 discussed what is intended for senior executives and procurement officers who are leading programmes to deliver significant savings for their organisation. Although a more involved procurement process is required, this is a rare opportunity to save between £75 and £200 per user per annum for your organisation without the necessity to make job cuts or take large risks. Managed Print Services focus on optimising the print environment and ensuring it remains optimised over the term of the contract with predictable costs.
Following the launch of this first white paper, the group is currently developing a series of additional thought-provoking papers on office printing, covering a variety of topics including:
- Cost containment
- Environmental issues
- Security implications
Key focus areas:
- improving the knowledge and understanding of MPS throughout industry and government
- working with Intellect to produce appropriate guidance and information both for the document management industry and for wider industry
- promoting the MPS industry to key stakeholders
- lobbying appropriate stakeholders on issues affecting standards relating to MPS
