Why Manage Documents / Print Environment?
Most organizations could benefit from understanding their document related expenses in the office. However, that information is not readily available as decisions on output equipment, supplies and service are often fragmented across departments. Even if these costs are fully understood and well managed, the truth is that they still only represent 10% of the fully burdened costs. It's the hidden support costs that have the greatest impact on a company's total document life cycle.
Independent research and DS&S case studies suggest that most companies need help:
Maximizing the efficiency and productivity of document-related hardware
Measuring total print, copy, fax and outsourced document volumes
Identifying the most appropriate technology to address their needs
Managing paper and electronic documents more effectively throughout their life cycle
Developing a comprehensive strategy for managing all of their documents productively
To fully realize the benefits of an optimized output environment, the customer should consider the development of a comprehensive Output Strategy. The Output Strategy will become part of our IT strategy and facilitate the development a strategic plan. That strategy should drive productivity and user-satisfaction higher, while ultimately increasing patient satisfaction and reducing the total cost of output.
