from the
Gary Downey
Group Marketing Director,
Balreed
As Managed Print Services gathered momentum in 2012, we
found an increasing level of interest from smaller and medium-
sized businesses. These businesses aspired to the cost benefits
and value they perceived larger organisations were already
enjoying, but they also needed to understand exactly what MPS
is and what its commercial aspects are. We expect this demand to
continue in 2013, as awareness of a generic MPS term cascades
down through the market.
To survive the last few years of economic onslaught many organisations
have already made whatever reductions they can in their more conspicuous
cost bases such as staff headcount. Print expenditure will come under
increasing scrutiny in 2013 but we don’t believe that squeezing hardware
prices in isolation will generate the savings organisations are looking for.
Our approach will be to help them improve the efficiency of their
internal processes, not just their print infrastructure, which can also reduce
their operating costs and deliver environmental benefits. Hidden hard and
soft costs, inefficiency and wastage within a business can all be reduced
through tailored print management, the use of more digital documents and
systems and the one-touch automation of common tasks. This process and
infrastructure focus puts our clients in a much stronger position to grow.

The ongoing economic climate challenges all types of business
and that includes every printer and MFP vendor. Customers
simply have less money to spend and are choosing to delay the
replacement of older office equipment.
However there are still opportunities for dealers to increase sales. Whilst
many are simply focused on low prices and low cost consumables, there are
other factors that are equally important that will drive the ultimate decision
to buy. Whilst an old device may still be working, a new modern printer or
multifunctional printer will be faster, more efficient and use much less energy
than the product it replaces – and you can do much more with it, as well as
bringing in-house jobs that may previously have been outsourced.
Replacing an existing printer with a compact modern device that offers
greater flexibility, time saving and energy reduction efficiencies, certainly
makes the case for an upgrade at OKI: we call it printing smarter.
