Distributed Print

Management Services

A better way to manage output

Pursue one more area of optimization

Do you know that distributed ofce output accounts for up to 20 percent

of total printing costs, which can be as much as 1-3 percent of a company’s

total revenue?1 Make a quick calculation and you can see that savings in this

area can be a boon to your operations budget. What savings can you expect

through outsourcing and right-sizing your output environment? A reason-

able target is 10-30 percent.

You’ve most likely consolidated servers and storage and addressed network

and desktop issues. It’s time to tackle your output environment. As much as

45 percent of the costs of print are hidden, which makes it difcult to as-

sess the true total cost of print. As a result, output decisions may be based

only on the visible costs of acquisition and operating expenses. InfoPrint

Distributed Print Management Services (DPMS), a managed services offering,

can help you identify and control hidden costs – both initial and ongoing,

through right-sizing, best practices, and experienced oversight.

Reduce cost through right-sizing

Print, copy, fax and scan devices may be scattered all over your

company. Without a plan and ongoing management, devices

tend to proliferate and pose a serious cost-control challenge,

especially if you want to take advantage of electronic document

delivery, automated workows, and digital archives. If your envi-

ronment includes devices from multiple vendors, complexity goes

up signicantly.

You can move from paper to digital, and optimize processes, far

more efciently and cost effectively when you have the correct

number and type of devices. InfoPrint Solutions Company™, a

Ricoh-IBM joint venture, has the right people, skills, experience,

and technology to help you centralize and simplify your output

environment and provide a single point of management.

“A managed services offering, can help you

identify and control hidden costs.”

Achieve the right balance with managed output services

DPMS combines expertise, processes, tools, and technology that together

help you achieve the optimum output environment – one that balances pro-

ductivity, cost and worker satisfaction. The output strategy we recommend

will be aligned with your IT strategy. With alignment comes better use of

resources such as servers, networks and workstations – all aimed at timely,

cost-effective business communications. This value-add approach is the core

of InfoPrint DPMS.

The key elements of DPMS include:

n Right-sizing with the latest multi-function technology versus

expensive-to-operate single-function print, copy, and fax devices.

n Optimizing productivity by placing the right devices in the right locations

to satisfy end-user needs.

n Managing assets, supplies, support, and maintenance to free you to focus

on core business issues.

n Communicating with you regularly so you have enhanced control of your

print infrastructure and visibility into the true cost of print.

When should you consider

InfoPrint DPMS?

n Your printer service and support

costs are escalating.

n Device contracts are expiring

within 3-6 months.

n Many of your print devices are

more than ve years old or a

technology refresh is imminent.

n You’re running out of physical

space for devices and storage.

n You want to migrate from

paper to digital workows

and archives.

n You are in the midst of a

merger, acquisition, relocation

or downsizing.

n You’ve been given a mandate

to cut costs.

“Typically, only 10% of the ofce document burdened

costs relate to equipment, supplies, and service ex-

penses. For every $1 spent on equipment, supplies,

and service, another $9 is spent on other burdened

costs. These burdened costs include IT support and

infrastructure, procurement and facility costs, end-user

interaction time, and document management expense.

These costs are fragmented in budgets and processes

across the organization.”

guide you through the transition to managed output services with a
