A3 Multifunctional Devices (MFDs)
Many businesses today still split their reprographics requirements in half:
- User & workgroups use desktop printers and scanners are provided by IT
- Departmental copiers and high-volume centralised print are provided by facilities
This approach is normally inefficient, doesn't provide users with the functionality they need, and is unnecessarily expensive. Instant cost savings can be made by switching from single-function desktop and workgroup devices to multi-functional devices (MFD).
Charterhouse is a top-tier partner of Canon and Sharp and we are an expert in reengineering workflows to support MFDs. MFDs build on the long-established model of the departmental photocopier by adding network connectivity to enable printing, scanning and faxing.
Typical savings by switching to MFDs include:
- Reduction in desktop real-estate
- 50-75% reduction in power costs
- 40% reduction in consumable costs
- Reduced cost-per-page for large jobs
Charterhouse's approach is not to look at the hardware; rather we assess your needs using an integrated workflow assessment approach. This allows us to deliver true Reprographics Management Solutions enabled by our professional services teams. If your existing provider is not providing you with the options available or the management tools you need, contact us to arrange a visit so we can tell you how we're different.
