What is a Unified Managed Print Contract
A managed print service contract is a contract where your printer management is outsourced to another company. A unified version of this contract includes printers and copiers of the same or varied brands. A unified managed print service agreement offers several benefits beyond that of a standard agreement. By choosing a single supplier, like DocuProducts, there are several advantages to having contracts with several vendors.
1.Streamlined management
Under a unified service contract, all your printers are managed by a single company. Instead of having to deal with separate vendors for all your printers they are all instead managed by a single partner. This single service partner can more easily suit your needs and support all your printing devices without having to cooperate with other service providers.
2.Cost savings
By negotiating with only one service and supply vendor for all your machines, you no longer need to pay the company fees of several service providers. By having all your supplies sent by a single vendor you also save on shipping costs across multiple vendors.
3.Improved productivity
Under a single contract regular maintenance can more easily be scheduled across your fleet of printers. Regular maintenance can prevent backups in print jobs by preventing down time of your fleet of printers. Our trained service staff can reduce the burden on your IT Staff allowing them to focus on other initiatives.
4.Access to advanced services
Under a single unified print contract, you and your service provider can access more in-depth analytics across all your print jobs and machines. These advanced analytics may lead to the discovery of redundant machines and printers that could be downgraded to increase cost savings.
5.Access to cross services
Assorted brands of printers offer their own services for each of their printers. Under a single print contract, your vendor can access these services on your behalf and offer a unified system.
6.Flexibility and scalability
A Single service provider can move to keep up with your business with more agility than having several service providers across all your printing devices. This Flexibility allows for an easier expansion of your printing fleet to keep up with your printing demands.
For these reasons having a singular unified managed print service agreement through a local vendor, such as DocuProducts, is beneficial to having multiple agreements with multiple service vendors.
