How much does your office spend on printing? You might be surprised. When you look at the expensive printer cartridges, you quickly see that printing is expensive. However, when you see the total cost of printing, your eyes are opened to a great savings potential.

Supply Inventories
Open the supply closet in most departments and you will often find hundreds or thousands of dollars in printer supplies. Multiply this across the number of supply closets in your organization and you quickly realize that there are thousands of dollars in unmanaged (and possibly unnecessary) printer supplies in your organization.

Shrinkage
Office supply theft now goes beyond swiping pens and pencils. Unmanaged printer supplies provide a tempting opportunity for theft. All you have to do is check ebay.com or craigslist.com to see that people sell print cartridges on line. With the average laser print cartridge retailing for $100 or more, this is a fast way to make some cash.

IT Department Distraction
One of the most expensive departments in any company is the IT department. High cost assets should be focused on high-value activities. Dealing with printer service problems is a costly distraction to your IT team. And, in some organizations, printers are responsible for up to 50% of the help desk calls.

Lost Productivity
Inoperable printers harm productivity. When someone prints a document to a broken printer, they usually go back to their desk and print to a different printer. Very rarely do users take the time to fix the problem, leaving the same productivity-draining episode for the next user.

Power Consumption
Printers and multifunction systems use heat to fuse the toner to paper. As a result, they are some of the biggest power consumers in the office. Many companies have unnecessary redundancy with printers that sit right next to copiers and faxes. Consolidating these devices saves money on power, as well as cutting the costs of managing and supplying multiple devices.

The new year is full of challenges and opportunities. Whether you believe we are in a long term recession or that a comeback is on the horizon, leveraging technology to boost productivity is a smart strategy to maximize profitability.

Documents drive business processes. When you streamline the flow of information through your business processes, you realize meaningful productivity gains. Plus, you can also benefit from improved customer service, faster audits and better disaster recovery.

Following are a few technologies that you could leverage to increase your productivity.

Scan-to-Email
In the past, if you needed to deliver a document instantly you sent a fax. While faxing is convenient, it does have some limitations. The recipient may not get the fax right away. Or, they may have to wait by the fax machine. Also, security is low with documents sitting on the public fax tray.

Scan-to-Email technologies allow you to send a paper document directly to email addresses. The document shows up as a handy PDF attachment that can be opened on any computer. Unlike faxes, emails are delivered directly to the end user’s desktop. And, email offers more privacy than a shared fax device.

You can get scan-to-email features on most new multifunction systems and faxes. Not only will you be more productive, your information will be more private.

Electronic Document Management
How much time does your staff spend looking for information? In a paper-based filing system, it could lead to hours of wasted productivity each week.

To make matters worse, think about why your staff is looking for information. Sometimes, it is to answer an urgent question from a client. That means your customer service suffers while clients wait for answers.

You could be looking for information during an audit. Delays in the audit process drain office productivity. Not finding the information you need could lead to fines.

Find the information you need instantly with an Electronic Document Management system. Important business documents can be quickly scanned using a multifunction system or high speed scanner. These documents are imported into the document management system. Each document can be assigned specific key words or index fields.

Information can be found instantly from your computer desktop with convenient searches. You will be able to answer client questions quickly. Audits will go more smoothly. You will see an overall boost in productivity--and morale.
