In the print business, a clear and airtight budget is something that in today’s date is a basic expectation. No matter which industry your business caters to, the overall tightening of budgets is taking place across different industries. Have you ever thought if your print business is getting the attention that it deserves?

Budgeting your print expenses

Recent studies have found out that on average, companies waste about 14 percent of their revenues on print and document management related inefficiencies. While the goal of every business is to make profits and reducing waste is one of the ways in which your business can do that. What most businesses do not realize is that printing costs can account for a pretty good amount of your yearly budget. While considering your costs for paper and maintenance for printers, printing expenses can get quite high. According to Gartner, the total printing costs often are the last business expenses for companies that remain unmanaged even though it amounts to one to three percent of the total annual revenue of a company.

Managed print services help businesses control printing budgets often through optimized strategies. This helps you improve your print environment by making it more productive, cost-effective and efficient and you end up with 30 percent more in your print budget than before.
