Printing processes can cause serious headaches to companies

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of HP MPS for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Each day, every company, regardless of the size wants to reduce its expenses and streamline its operations and processes as much as possible. In this article, I’ve decided to talk about a common problem that most businesses encounter. It might not be the biggest issue companies are facing, but it does affect an organization’s activity, and productivity. I am talking about Printing. I know, It sounds basic and simple, but most of us know it is a problem that we face daily and have learned to live with.

So, printing is an issue for all companies that require paper documentation, and it comes in many shapes and colors. And I am not referring to the usual problems like paper jam or running out of ink when you need to deliver a report to a client. I am talking about a more serious problem, which can endanger your business productivity. Let’s make a short list:

• Huge amount of environmental waste and a workflow under a question mark

• A considerable high amount of money going to printing processes. Here I might add an interesting state, from a recent report. The average office worker prints 10,000 pages per year, at an average cost of $725.

Luckily, we are in the 21st century, and we have, at our own discretion, plenty of software and tools that make our lives, and business a lot easier to handle. So, it wouldn’t be surprising to say that nowadays, printing processes should not give us a headache with all the print management services and solutions that are available out there. I don’t want to make you read a long list of all of them. Instead, I will mention HP, which happens to be the leader in this field, and its Managed Printing Services.

Basically what a printing management solution does is to help you analyze and understand the four“W’s” of printing – Who, What, When and Where. To be more explicit, here’s how HP MPS can improve your business productivity and help you streamline processes:
