Your fleet Print and Scanning technology replacement doesn’t need to be a painful task!
Most IT departments find themselves managing their organisation’s photocopier (print/scanning) replacement programme, generally via an open market tender every 3 – 5 years. This print & scanning fleet replacement can be a very time-consuming task and is often rushed when the existing contract end of term deadline approaches.
The Edge Communications team believe there is an approach that can save time and effort and deliver great results for any organisation.
Edge Communications Print and Scanning Procurement framework
We help analyse your organisations current print volumes. The global trend is a significant reduction annually in the amount of printing and a focus on online documents
We suggest setting goals for a reduction in printing for each department – this should be part of the organisations overall targets for reducing waste and a focus on the environment
We encourage rationalising the number of printers in your fleet – often achieved by repositioning MFD’s (Multi-Function Devices)
We encourage engagement with key stakeholders in your business to capture their printing requirements and gather feedback on current printing devices, support, and service levels. Note: It is sometimes more economic to outsource very complex printing jobs rather than try and accommodate with high end in-house technology.
