Un-Managed & Un-Monitored expenses!!! Competitive Advantages Outside the Box Beyond hardware, toner, paper, spare parts what other significant costs exists? Here’s a hint? What are the first words out of an IT Manager’s mouth after the CFO asks... “Why am I paying for so many different toner cartridges?” ”Why are we paying so much for a local guy to come out, so often, to fix our printers?” “Is there a reason we let vendors print out flyers on our printers to pass them to employees so they can immediately throw them in the trash? Are vendors competing to win an MVP “Assists” award?” UM…. Un-Managed & Un-Monitored expenses!!! Ongoing device maintenance IT helpdesk support Power consumption Print wastage (unlimited color printing or reprinting poor quality pages) Intangible employee productivity losses resulting from unavailable printers Most organizations view printing as a routine cost of doing business. For many, the investment begins and ends with the printer hardware and consumables (mainly paper supplies and toners). However, many grossly underestimate the ongoing cost of keeping the printer running, notably on ongoing device maintenance and IT helpdesk support, print wastage, and intangible employee productivity losses resulting from unavailable printers and consumables. Sample Example 1:Imagine if you did not have access to a vehicle, email or internet. All you had was the ability to walk wherever you needed, send letters & go to the library. Many customers still manage their printers the way people lived 100 years ago. Walk to the printer to find out what’s wrong. Look for information on the control panel & then walk to tell everyone the printer is down so don’t use it “What expenses are allowed to roam free unbalanced & unchecked?” What expenses are the most invisible, unmanaged, unmonitored & unharnessed? “What can give an IT manager a significant amount of time back to his life?” Dell Confidential
