Managed Print Services and Optimization: You Can Do It Too
I just finished a grueling 2½-day process of reviewing vendor responses to a multi-function device RFP for a large university in New York City. The organization wanted to upgrade and modernize its fleet of copiers/multifunction devices and move to a cost-per-copy program. My task was to evaluate the current state, make recommendations on ways to optimize resource use, write the RFP, and help with the evaluation. Pretty straightforward stuff.
