Valuing good return on investment

It’s only natural that any business decision you take looks at what will get you the best return on investment. And print is no different.

Here are some key considerations to take into account when it comes to finance:

Demand an agile partner.

Business uncertainty today means it has never been more important to work with a partner that is strong enough to cope but agile and local enough to respond to your needs.
Look for transparency.

Today’s solutions deliver more than just print but you need to know exactly what you’re paying for. From service support to upgrades, a good partner can provide clear insight into your investment and regular reviews into its performance.
Think about the future.

Your needs may change over time so make sure your technology is future-proof, scalable and that you can adapt your agreement* if required.

Valuing productivity

As one of the mainstays of office life – accessed regularly by your people from across your organisation – you need your printers to be effective, efficient and reliable.

Here are some key considerations to take into account when it comes to productivity:

Tick off the basics.

There are certain things you should expect from your office print solution; a high-quality finish, performance that meets the demands of your business and a large degree of customisation.
Look for innovation.

Search for a solution that takes advantage of recent trends such as cloud integration – this makes digital transformation tasks much easier, speeding up productivity across the board.

Valuing security

Print is a crucial part of your business. You need to be able to trust that it is safe, stable and secure.

Here are some key considerations to take into account when it comes to security:

Look after your people.

If lots of your people access one printer, make sure your new device can keep each individual’s documents private.
Look after your business.

Businesses are a hive of activity and human error is bound to occur. Find a device that automates tedious tasks in a safe and secure way.
Look after your data.

Cyber-attacks can hit printers too – they store data just like your computer. Search for a solution that updates automatically and is backed by 24/7 remote monitoring.

Valuing customer support

No matter how big your business is, being able to receive quick, kind and efficient support on a local level is vital to getting the most out of your office print.

Here are some key considerations to take into account when it comes to customer support:

A people-first partner.

Work with a partner that adopts a people-first approach. They’ll have their finger on the pulse of your problems and provide quick and easy solutions.
Look local.

Most companies will have some sort of call centre and online support. But the best customer service comes from big organisations who think locally, including UK-based response staff and local, highly trained technicians.

Valuing sustainability

Good sustainability is growing ever more important – in both the public conscious, and in our business decisions.

Here are some key considerations to take into account when it comes to sustainability:

Typical energy consumption.

Printers with a low TEC will reduce your carbon footprint and save money on energy costs.
Less paper, more productivity.

Multifunction printers turn tedious tasks and ponderous paper trails into efficient digital processes.
Energy saving features.

Technology such as quick start-up, sleep mode and human detection sensors make it easy to work a little greener.

Valuing innovation

Innovation is at the core of every successful business. Make it part of your office print solution too.

Here are some key considerations to take into account when it comes to innovation:

Move with the times.

Working practices are evolving just like technology. We’re getting more agile – so you need to choose a device that can adapt to things like increased remote working.
Innovation is as innovation does.

If you value innovation, you need to work with a partner who does too. Only then will you effectively collaborate to meet the exact demands of your business.
