The dramatic change in the economic climate has necessitated an immediate focus on cost control across all organisations. Inevitably, this has also led to a flood of products and services from technology vendors that promise immediate cost and time savings — but can they really deliver what they promise? Are they able to provide transparency of the project's total cost of ownership and demonstrate an overall cost saving? Have they been proven to deliver a return on this investment that positively impacts the bottom line in the same financial year?
There is one solution that has been proven to deliver against its promises but it is often overlooked because it falls between many different departments. Companies that have taken the time to proactively organise their print and imaging infrastructure have recognised that for little or no start-up investment they can deliver cost savings of up to 30% per annum.
A global IT firm were spending $7m per annum unnecessarily on managing their printer and copier infrastructure
Another Xerox customer was processing 3,000 printer related invoices per quarter before engaging us
The service desk at a global telecommunications company was burdened with 850 call per month, 40% of which were unnecessary
The decision to sign with Xerox was not a difficult one. They were the only one to have a clear methodology and approach to achieve measurable savings of 25%. And more importantly, they guaranteed it.
