Questions and Answers
We have some printer and/or copier contracts coming up for renewal and we have no idea how we should go about assessing what our options are.
Print Assess is an international service, able to provide a comprehensive audit and assessment service for an organisation’s total document output management needs.
We want an independent assessment of our print environment, but can only find services offered by the suppliers.
Print Assess is one of the few businesses around which does not act as an agent for any vendor, that is, we are vendor-neutral about your hardware purchasing decisions.
We are moving to new offices and know that we really have to rationalise our document output environment, but we don’t know how to work out what we need.
Within one month, Print Assess can provide a clear and concise document output plan to suit your new environment.
Everyone wants to print in colour, but we are afraid of the extra expense. What are other companies doing about this?
The cost of colour printing is continuing to fall significantly. With a preliminary consultation from Print Assess, we will be able to guide you to the most economical options available to you within your current vendor contractual relationships.
I hear some companies are saving over 30% by managing their printer and copier fleet better, what are we missing out on?
Savings of 30% or more are very common, call in Print Assess for a preliminary consultation to find out how your company might achieve that.
We have offices all over the world. Can Print Assess handle an environment as large as ours?
With senior assessment consultants in London, San Francisco, Cape Town,and Melbourne, and with over 200 associate assessment consultants throughout the developed world, we are available in most major cities to deliver assessment solutions in any number of office environments. Much of our work is done via company IT networks, often requiring minimal face-to-face contact.
Would Print Assess also be able to manage our vendor selection and negotiation process?
This is where our Custom Assessments can serve you best. Our senior levels of experience with the major printer and copier equipment vendors, as well as other solutions providers eg commercial printers and facility management providers, means we can manage vendor selection and contract negotiations on your behalf, with ease. We can also review existing fleet lease and rental arrangements, specifications and negotiated agreements that you have, providing you with the flexibility to secure the options that suit your organisation best.
Some consultants have offered to do a print audit, how is this different to what Print Assess does?
The main difference between a ‘print audit’ and what we offer is service flexibility informed by senior print and IT management experience. We understand and directly serve your key organisational requirements. These might include current changes to business processes, pending shifts in IT strategy, new financial constraints, falling work-place productivity, or any other performance area linked with the document output environment.
