Is Choosing Print Outsourcing Services the Right Choice?

At present, there is basically no requirement for the user's printing volume. In the chain of demand and ** of printing services, even as Xerox and Lexmark as MPS

If a leader in printing outsourcing services asks for a payment for the equipment and consumables and services that you plan to pay for in the form of how much money you charge per print (e.g., 8 cents per sheet), they will also ask you to sign a minimum print volume and a minimum commitment to print volume. This is because the user or service provider will all the one-time costs and follow-up service costs are all linked to the amount of print, and the amount of print is a difficult and uncontrollable variable, so the service provider usually has to go through the internal cost and profit calculation, with a mutually acceptable amount of print as a necessary condition for signing a service agreement. You can refer to:

Lexmark. That's what you're asking.

I feel like I can, please.

The fat thickness is carried by the inkstone.

According to IDC's recent report, "Asia Pacific Managed Print Services (MPS) Market 2011-2016** and Analysis" (Art. No. AP2579405X, August 2012), MPS will be a prominent feature of enterprise applications in Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) over the next five years, with a market size of $100 million by 2016 and an average CAGR of 17%.

For print service providers and their channel partners in Asia Pacific (excluding Japan), it is clear that the traditional print business model will inevitably be replaced by a new service and software strategy that IDC believes will lead to higher margins and closer, longer-term relationships with its customers.

This is already true in developed markets in the Asia-Pacific region. However, from an application perspective, the maturity of the MPS market in various countries will still be uneven in the short term, and a large number of opportunities will appear in some specific markets, and companies with printing outsourcing as their main business, such as Lexmark, also have some similarities. “

Both the demand side and the ** side of advanced economies will lead the way, with both adopting proven methods to manage the print and document environment. However, there are also significant opportunities in the fast-growing megacities of the Asia-Pacific region.

It's not expensive to buy your own printer.

Printing outsourcing service (also known as MPS) is a very high-end business in the printing business, which is committed to changing the sales of printing products to the business model of selling printing services. Because of the characteristics of the printer industry, consumables are the largest cost of income**, and at the same time, the customer's understanding of the printer is not high, resulting in a significant increase in later maintenance costs. Major enterprises are shifting their focus from simple printer sales to the sales model of printing outsourcing services, but due to many limitations of manufacturers (such as high labor costs, inflexible services, etc.), many leading companies are doing non-professional MPS business.

There are many kinds of MPS charges, but the basis is equipment + service, you can understand it as a mobile company's phone bill, there is a monthly rent + phone bill, 58**, monthly or promised phone bill for mobile phone (copier), the reason is the same.

The industry standard is black and white yuan per print, color yuan per print, if it contains other services, it will be high, of course, there are also low, but you get what you pay for, and the chamber of commerce will make profits by counting the amount of prints, and there are a lot of tricks.

Lenovo has been doing MPS for many years, but it is still in its infancy because there are no hardware products, but it already has its own software solutions and service team, and Lenovo Group also adopts this system, which is a good choice!

There are actually no specific requirements for this. Even leaders in MPS services, such as Xerox and Lexmark, will ask for a minimum print volume and a minimum commitment if they ask to pay for the equipment and supplies and services they plan to pay for in the form of how much they charge per print. Service providers usually have to go through internal cost and profit calculations, and sign a mutually acceptable print volume as a condition of the agreement.

What profession is more powerful in the war world?

Whether you are measured by a single printing device or calculated by the overall printing volume within the enterprise, you can communicate and negotiate with the printing service provider based on your company's printing volume. Leaders such as Lexmark and Xerox are not only able to independently capture the print volume of each device, but also focus on analyzing the development speed of the user's core business from the user's total print volume, and can also summarize the customer's printing application and management level, and then propose a more cost-effective and reasonable print management plan to the customer. Therefore, when choosing a service provider, enterprises do not need to think too much about or promise the problem of printing volume, and leave it to a professional service provider, so that they can analyze and provide a solution that suits the needs of the enterprise.

MPS contractors such as Lexmark and Xerox can choose to reduce the cost of one-time fixed payments that users originally need, such as the purchase of printing equipment or continuous investment in fixed assets, to zero in the financial account, and also help enterprises to transform the nature of these purchases into daily operating expenses.

There's nothing to ask for this. For companies like Xerox and Lexmark, which are leaders in MPS print outsourcing services, if a user asks for a plan to pay for all the equipment and consumables and services they plan to pay for in the form of how much they charge per print, they will also ask the user to sign a minimum print requirement, and they will also have a minimum commitment. Both parties will make the agreement a condition of agreement with an acceptable print volume.

It is usually a monthly or quarterly payment, if your company prints a large amount, you can also negotiate with the service provider to pay before and after the service, after all, the current bank loan interest is getting higher and higher, and the post-payment is more cost-effective for users. You can consult Lexmark's distributors, "Lexmark" was the first to introduce the Chinese printing application market with a comprehensive product + service business concept.

The most common ways to pay the service provider are monthly or quarterly. If it is a contract with a relatively large amount of several years, the user can also negotiate with the service provider to pay before and after the service, after all, the interest on bank loans is getting higher and higher, and the post-payment is more cost-effective for users.

It depends on how well you outsource your business and services. In terms of services, there are generally consumables outsourcing, full equipment outsourcing and full business outsourcing, and the charges are also incremental. Consumables outsourcing only charges the cost of consumables; In addition to consumables, the whole equipment charges a certain machine service fee, which is not necessarily 50-500 per unit; The requirements for full-service outsourcing are high, generally tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of the entire business.

As for the service, it is also relative, there are 8 5 hours, 8 7 hours, 24 5, 24 7 and so on.

Basically, the difference is the difference between a lump sum payment and an installment.

Those who want to save the cost of printing applications, those who want to simplify the management process of printing equipment, those who want to improve the efficiency of printing equipment, those who want to reduce the workload of employees, those who want to reduce the inventory of consumables and improve the utilization rate of consumables, those who want to improve the user experience of printouts, those who want to monitor the operation status of printing equipment in real time, those who want to manage the printoutput equipment of different brands and different service years in a unified manner, those who want to understand the daily printing expenses and make budgets, those who want to improve the environmental protection of the office, and those who want to distribute them throughout the companyIn the printout business of the whole factory, the whole city, the whole country, and even the world, there are dozens or hundreds of printers or multi-function machines are more suitable for enterprises, and it is more suitable for enterprises with printing equipment scattered on different floors, different offices, and different cities.
