The first step is to understand your current print environment. Our analysis process is a proven strategy to gather this information quickly without disruption to your work environment.

Few organizations have conducted a formal assessment of how to optimize the deployment of their workgroup printers, copiers, and MFPs for cost reduction and worker productivity. Those that have conducted assessments typically have done the work with internal resources that are unlikely to produce the optimal results that are achieved by formal assessments conducted by specialized third parties.

Here’s what you can expect during the analysis phase:

• Printer Identification
  We leverage network technology to gather information about your printers. A non-invasive USB key captures key information that is stored on your network printers: printer models, serial numbers, and meter readings.
  
  
• Cost Identification
  We work with you to determine the current cost of printer supplies and support. This can be done by gathering information from your office supply invoices or by using a recent survey of print cartridge prices from national office supply retailers.
  
  
• Office Layout
  During a quick walk through of your facilities, we’ll note the location of each of your printers. Then with your permission, we’ll talk with the appropriate department managers to learn the key needs of their departments.

This information is used to guide the optimization phase.
