Reprographics Management
Reducing costs is easy. What we really like to do - and our customers love - is to give you ways to control and manage what you spend. Companies usually have no idea that their reprographics spend is out of control. You might like to sit down now, and prepare yourself for some scary statistics:
- Reprographics is the third highest cost in most companies (Gartner)
- 10% to 15% of company revenue is spent of reprographics (numerous analysts)
- 16,000 businesses in Europe were sampled: none could calculate their repro spend
If you understand the dynamics - and live and breathe this stuff everyday, as we do - it's easy to see why. The situation has arisen because generally:
- Photocopiers are centrally funded through facilities
- Desktop printers and scanners are funded by IT
- But high-volume print production is funded through facilities
- Paper and toner are often funded departmentally
- Users don't appreciate the cost, and still print single-sided and colour
So costs are strewn all around the business. Cost centre allocation can be inaccurate. Managers and users have no accountability for their actions. And the company can't measure or manage the overall spend. These are the challenges our reprographics management solutions are designed to solve.
