Bob's Notebook - 2010 Shows and Conferences
Managed Print Services Connect (May 20 2010)
-
As the publisher of MPSConnect I attended many shows and conferences. I thought I would share some of the notes I took at the On Demand and N. A. MPS Conference this year.
o An MPS solution can cut the end user’s print cost by up to 30%.
o MPSA the Managed Print Services Association came up with this definition for MPS:
o Managed print services is the active management and optimization of document output devices and related business processes.
o $750 per employee per year - A company’s print expense, inclusive of hardware, paper and consumables.
o A good MPS plan can result in a $250 per employee per year cost reduction.
o MPS is a $30 – $40,000,000,000 (billion) market.
o 56% of corporate MPS decision makers are in the IT department.
o The greatest MPS growth is forecast to be in the SMB market.
o In 4 years 60% – 70% of MPS business will be generated from outside the US.
o Many regional dealers will go out of business if they don’t offer a good MPS program:
o It takes about 3 years for a dealer to develop their MPS program;
o Only 5 – 10% of US dealers are successful in the MPS space.
o Some of the best MPS vertical channels are:
o Education;
o Legal;
o Healthcare.
o GREEN initiative notes:
o It takes 10 times more energy to produce a paper page than it does to print on it.
o It takes 13 oz. of water to manufacture 1 page of paper.
