2. Why print management…?
• Gartner Group estimates that companies spend 1-3% of their annual revenue on
their print environment – ”a hidden gold mine of savings”
• Annual costs of unmanaged print per employee according to Newfield
• EUR 650 in Finance,
• EUR 500 in Government and Pharmaceuticals,
• EUR 350 in Education
• MFPs/MFDs are an integrated part of document input/output processes in almost
any company, influencing workflows and employee productivity,
• Document security and confidentiality become increasingly important since
more and more intelligence is built into MFPs/MFDs

3. Cost control is a challenge...
1. Lack of central procurement policies and standards regarding preferred printer
vendors and models supported by IT may be costly,
2. Users and departments buy any printer whenever they need one, and then
expect central IT to support it,
3. Users prefer personal printers because it allows them to print when they want
without the risk of losing confidential documents,
4. Without central document accounting you cannot measure and control costs.

4. The need for efficiency...
1. Without clearly defined standards IT ends up supporting different printers, print
drivers, and purchasing different types of consumables,
2. Scarce IT ressources spend valuable time supporting a dispersed printer fleet
that may not support the business and the way employees work,
3. Traditional printing does not allow users to print when and where they want –
printed documents do not wait for the user to collect them.

5. Document security is always an issue...
1. Lack of overall company policy regarding document handling and security,
2. Free access to all networked printers allowing anybody to print, copy, fax, scan
or e-mail free of charge,
3. Often people forget having printed a document, even confidential documents.
Adding to the piles in the printer room, they might fall into the wrong hands.
5
6. The challenge of sustainable printing...
1. No overall company policy regarding sustainable printing,
2. Regretted print jobs are printed with no chance to stop them at the printer, and
forgotten print jobs pile up in the printer room,
3. Users are not always aware of the cost of printing, which is why they often print
unnecessary online content, print draft documents in color, or do not use duplex
printing and other functions that reduce paper and toner waste.
