From the Editor: Mile-high Musings
At the conference, I heard managers discussing their efforts to initiate a copier fleet management program and the various degrees of success they were having convincing upper management of the benefits. The sad part is, a vendor will eventually approach those same upper managers with a managed print proposal, and offer to do a "free" assessment. The results will not be unbiased. By failing to allow their own print manager to coordinate this, they will miss the opportunity to save even more money by controlling the process, as Arapahoe County has wisely realized.
