In today’s age of digitization, the software infrastructure of every business is evolving at a rapid pace. From document management to managing print services, every aspect has become extremely software-defined.

Why has the MPS market grown so rapidly?

According to a study conducted by the Gartner Group in 2015, it has been observed that almost 90 percent of businesses are unaware of the number of printers being used and the total cost incurred by these printers. This leads to the need and demand for having software in place that would manage, centralize and optimize the entire print process. This has resulted in the managed print services market grow exponentially which is believed to reach 49.7 billion dollars by 2025, according to a report released by the Grand View Research.

The MPS market has gained momentum over the past few years as most businesses have realized the significance of categorizing their print-related expenditures. According to a report released by the BizTech Magazine, by going for print management services, organizations can save as much as 30 percent annually. While the budget remains a top driver, let us take a quick look at factors that have made MPS services so popular:

• Improving efficiency and productivity
• Reducing the environmental footprint
• Saving time
