Build a Baseline: Assessment of the Current State
Our approach is to build a comprehensive baseline of your current print environment. Our Encompass MPS consultants will deploy our analytic software tools and conduct a physical walkthrough, locating print devices and interviewing end users. When is the best time to start? Right away.
Too often, print assessments are only done when justification is needed for a new equipment purchase. These print assessments are very short, normally focused on a single department or area in the organization with the resulting data not providing a complete picture of the printing environment. The results: decisions made on incomplete data and assumption based costing.
Encompass provides a longer and more complete measurement period, with better data, which will allow you to make smart decisions.
Measure Continuity
Once the baseline has been established, the next step is to implement a process to continually measure the fleet’s usage and costs. The old adage is true - “You can’t manage what you don’t know”. With our Encompass MPS Program, this process is done for you.
Manage Information
Over time, Encompass provides the ability to manage the print environment on real information. It starts with an assessment. Invariably, you’ll be surprised at what you’ll find out after the initial assessment. Simply:
