If you’re looking to cut costs in an enterprise, there’s no better place to start than the imaging and printing environment. In most enterprises, printing is likely to be the largest unmanaged expense in your IT budget. To gain control and create bankable change, you first need to understand exactly what’s going on in your printing and imaging infrastructure, including how each device is used and by whom. Then you must implement policies designed to reduce waste and encourage better print habits.
Control the cost of print in your enterprise with a solution designed specifically to help address and lower the expense of office printing. Powered by reliable HP multi-function printers (MFPs) and innovative Pharos Systems Blueprint software, the HP and Pharos Blueprint Enterprise Printing Security and Job Accounting Solution offers a rapid return on investment (ROI ) and requires no staff training or investments of time. With HP and Pharos, you can stop wasting resources and instead create an optimized and well-managed printing and imaging environment.
Print/copy accounting—Track what individuals are printing and to which devices, and determine how much it all costs. This simple IT exercise analyzes and summarizes print information by employee, device and location and delivers the results in four to six weeks.
Asset consolidation—Streamline and fine tune your printing environment. Asset consolidation and optimization is all about taking the information you’ve collected and analyzed, using it to understand your employees’ printing needs and then putting the right devices in the right locations. Printing policies—Assign, communicate and enforce policies for cutting printing costs and waste. Employees receive helpful tips and warnings when they send a job to print, as well as monthly print volume and cost statistics, all aimed at encouraging responsible printing. Pull printing—Send a print job to any solution-enabled HP MFP, no matter where it’s located. Users authenticate at the device to print the job. This reduces waste by eliminating the pile-up of uncollected documents and helps prevent confidential documents from getting into the wrong hands.
