How Managed Print Solves Multi-Academy Trust Challenges
The trend for Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) to outsource their printing and document management needs is growing. Are managed print services worth it?
Managed Print Services (MPS) go beyond streamlining workflows. Expertly delivered MPS can refine internal processes, unlock cost savings in key areas, and even contribute to a MAT's environmental goals, boosting their public image.
MPS leverages sophisticated analytics to understand your current printing habits, goals, and specific needs. This data-driven approach allows them to tailor a program that delivers multiple benefits: reduced paper waste, increased efficiency, enhanced document and data security, and cost savings.
Below are a few examples of common challenges Multi-Academy Trusts face, and how a Managed Print Service can help:
Excess or Outdated Print Equipment
Constant equipment updates, purchases, and slowdowns. MPS result: fewer printers, higher efficiency, and maximised productivity.
Little or Zero In-House Print Support
Limited IT resources are a common challenge for MATs. MPS alleviate this pressure by taking over printing and document management tasks.
Poor or Overstocked Supply Inventory
Some MATs keep excess supplies on hand, which ties up capital. MPS eliminates these issues by automatically managing supply levels
Environmental Impact Issues
Printing supplies significantly contribute to the amount of material that reach landfills. MPS can minimise carbon impact, reduce waste, reforest trees throughout the globe.
Security Measures & Compliance Issues
MPS safeguards your data and equipment, with robust security features. For MATs, this ensures compliance with relevant regulations.
