We have mentioned “Managed Print Services” (MPS) several times over the last few months (here and here, for example), and with good reason. It’s a red-hot practice in the world of office productivity and document handling.

As we’ve pointed out before, the buzzword tends to mean different things to different people, but the core concept is built upon the reality that businesses today are spending an ever higher portion of the annual budgets on printing and document handling—and find themselves haphazardly using a swelling array of printers, scanners, and multi-function devices as a result.

Enter Optimize™, Standley’s unique approach to the art and science of MPS.

Optimize™ is a solution that identifies, controls and manages costs associated with document output. And deploying this service can be a smart decision for any business that owns and operates several printers, copiers, scanners and fax machines.

Here’s a super-condensed overview of how it works:

Optimize™ begins with an initial end-to-end assessment that includes an inventory of your business’s fleet of equipment and output; interviews with staff about their workflow; and discovery of how documents move around your office. We track what is done, how often, and how long it takes.

Once that assessment is complete, we offer you a customized solution where, as a single-source vendor managing your existing fleet, we help streamline your documentation needs, remove hassles, eliminate redundancies, save time and cut waste. With a single provider of fleet maintenance and supplies, you will be free to focus on building your business and boosting your bottom line.

There is much more to tell, of course. If you’re a business owner who suspects there must be a better way to manage your expanding fleet of document devices; or who is frustrated by information bottlenecks and redundancies in your operation, why not give us a call?

You’ll never know what Optimize™ could do for your business unless you ask.
