MPS stands for Managed Print Services, a solution that helps businesses take control of their printing infrastructure. MPS providers assess, optimise, and manage a company's printers, copiers, and document workflows to reduce costs, improve security, and increase efficiency.
Without proper management, office printing can be expensive, inefficient, and difficult to track. MPS ensures that businesses only print what is necessary, automate supply replenishment, and enhance print security. Whether you're a small business or a large enterprise, MPS can offer significant operational and financial benefits.
How Managed Print Services Work
MPS providers work closely with businesses to evaluate their current printing habits and implement cost-effective solutions. The process generally includes:
- Assessment & Analysis – A thorough audit of print usage to identify inefficiencies.
- Optimisation – Implementing the best mix of printers and copiers to reduce waste and costs.
- Remote Monitoring & Maintenance – Automated toner replenishment and proactive servicing prevent downtime.
- Security Enhancements – Implementing secure print release, encryption, and user authentication.
- Ongoing Management & Reporting – Regular reports help businesses track usage and make informed decisions.
The Key Benefits of MPS
1. Cost Reduction
Printing costs can spiral out of control when left unmanaged. MPS helps businesses cut costs by up to 30% by optimising device usage, reducing unnecessary printing, and ensuring efficient toner supply management.
2. Increased Efficiency & Productivity
Employees waste valuable time dealing with printer errors, ordering supplies, and managing print-related issues. MPS ensures printers are maintained, stocked, and monitored, allowing staff to focus on their work rather than troubleshooting printer problems.
3. Automated Supplies & Maintenance
With MPS, toner and ink replacements are handled automatically, ensuring that printers are always functional. Instead of waiting until the last minute to replace supplies, businesses benefit from predictive maintenance that prevents breakdowns.
4. Enhanced Security & Compliance
MPS provides advanced security features like user authentication, encryption, and secure print release, protecting sensitive documents from unauthorised access. This is crucial for industries like finance, healthcare, and legal services, where data privacy regulations must be met.
5. Sustainability & Environmental Benefits
Excessive printing wastes paper, ink, and electricity. MPS promotes eco-friendly printing practices, such as double-sided printing, digital document management, and energy-efficient devices, helping businesses reduce their carbon footprint.
