The A3 Document: Perception Versus Reality
Summary:
As offices review their office printing costs, one significant area almost entirely overlooked is the cost of having A3 devices. The perception is that the A3 document is as necessary to our office printing needs as power-steering is to our cars. The reality, as evidenced by NewField IT's review of more than 50,000 devices supporting over 105,000 users, is that A3 output in the office is remarkably low – less than 2.5% of total page volumes on average.
The Managed Print Service Game: How to Play and Win
Summary:
Imagine for a moment that you're not managing procurement in an office, but that you're managing your local rugby team. You know the star players (the digital copier, the colour printer, and the high volume scanner). You know what pleases the crowd (new features, faster output). And you also know what pleases the board (increased productivity, with cost savings).
Legally Overweight?: Optimising a law firm's filing environment
Summary:
Carrying excess fat, as we all know, leads to poor physical and mental performance, and the same could be said to be true of our workplaces. A healthy – and happy – office is one that is lean and fit, where the job in hand can be carried out with energy and efficiency, and where each part of the overall system functions effectively.
Information Security: Keeping MFDs Watertight
Summary:
The uninhibited flow of information within today's business environment has become a prerequisite of an organisation's success and smooth operation. But within every organisation, some of that information will be sensitive, and ensuring its safekeeping involves a comprehensive security policy. Like water coursing through a pressurised system, information has an unnerving habit of 'leaking' out through unchecked weak spots which have been identified and exploited by unscrupulous individuals.
Colour in The Office: Document fairy tale or cost demon?
Summary:
The printer salesman began his pitch: "Once upon a time there was a poor, dull document that was of interest to no-one. Its vital information was ignored by one and all, and it stayed unloved and unlovely at the bottom of a drawer in the kingdom of Officeland.
Breaking 'The Gartner Code': The fact and the fiction behind print reviews
Summary:
In 2001, the international research group, Gartner released a briefing paper titled 'Rightsizing Output Fleets - The Hidden Gold Mine'1. This research paper identified total print costs to be as much as 1-3% of an organisation's revenue, a figure far higher than anyone had previously suggested. Gartner argued that print costs are so high they offer a 'gold
mine' for any procurement or IT manager looking to make savings.
