Higher Education faces significant business and economic challenges
Facts
In 2012, state and local support declined to $81.2 billion–down 7 percent from 2011. Fiscal pressures that will affect the delivery of core programs and services.

Excerpts
•A "new normal" in higher education finance. Even with the recovery of endowments, the effects of the recession will be long-lasting.
"We must be realistic that even when state economies return to pre-2008 levels, the level of support for higher education will not return,“
"The fear is that we'll end up with the worst of both worlds, - cuts in funding and more intervention by government."
Molly Corbett Broad, President of the American Council on Education (ACE)

Higher Education Document output costs are 3.8% greater than in the Commercial sector Spend Factors:
•Decentralized device
management leads to limited control of total devices and number of vendors to manage • “Procurement of devices is “siloed” • Limited Supply management for consumables; paper, toner & cartridges results in higher costs
•IT Infrastructure &
Help Desk Support Demands are greater

It is important during this time of transition to not overlook your high-potential (HIPO) employees. Managers should make it a priority to continually remind high-potential employees that the organization is committed to their growth and development so that these employees stay engaged and do not seek other employment.

Why you should consider Managed Print Services…
According to IDC research, key benefits are:
•
40% Fewer help desk calls
•
25% Reduction in cost of consumables
•
20% Unscheduled maintenance cost reduction
•10% Cost reductions in installation and upgrades
Let’s start with some questions…
• How much do you spend on equipment – how about supplies?
• When you thought about supplies, did you consider inventory carrying costs?
• Did you consider the time it takes to find the part number and order it? • How about shipping?
• And what about color? Don’t know how much it costs, just that it’s expensive?
Don’t know the answers?
Good news: You are not alone.
A typical business spends up to 6% of annual revenues on document management.

According to estimates by Gartner Group, businesses spend 1- 3% of
their total annual revenue producing documents.
Businesses dramatically underestimate their total document related expenses and needs – (total cost of ownership) or TCO all the while failing to implement measurable cost and management controls. By managing document requirements effectively, your organization
can save up to 30% on your total in-house document related costs.
Key Benefits:
Developing a total document management strategy can increase productivity, drive efficiency and reduce operational costs and TCO.

The Impacts of Printing
Financial Impact
Annual
Revenue Average Annual Print Spend
$10 million $100K to $300K
Printing Cost total 1-3% of annual revenues*
Print Volume is declining at 1-2% per year** Related Costs
• For every $1 spent on printing it takes another $9
to manage it***
* Gartner Group ** IDC *** All Associates Group
The Cost Equation
Environmental Impact
Paper, Toner and Power
• One case of paper (10 reams) uses approximately 60%
of a tree*
• Production of 50 lbs. (5,000 pages/1 case) of copy paper
produces 143 lbs. of green house gases*
• Three quarts of oil are consumed in the production of a
single new toner cartridge and they take over 1,000 years to decompose**
• Millions of square feet of landfill space is consumed
with used toner cartridges, paper, and printers that could be recycled.**

• Documents not delivered • Delays
IT Impact
Maintenance Burden
• 15% of their time on printer related issues*
• Required driver updates for multiple models/brands
of printers
• Not trained as printer technician
• Pulls them away from projects requiring their
expertise
A Sensible Strategy
Managed Print Services Optimization
Manage Expenses
Outsource Management of the Printers
• Reduce the high cost of IT’s involvement with
printers
• Reduce administration of the fleet with one vendor
providing one invoice a month for the pages printed
• Reduce wasted materials
• Reduce downtime
Minimize Carbon Footprint
Green Printing
• Recycle toner cartridges, paper, and printers diverts
millions of cubic feet of material from landfills
• The recovery and reuse of toner cartridges and paper
saves power through less manufacturing*
• Use post consumer recycled paper
• Reduce materials inventory and the associated waste • Utilize alternative inks to laser that have less
environmental impact

Boost Productivity
Improve Workflow
• Integrate document workflow software into your
departments to improve business processes
• Proactive service and supplies maintenance increases
output device uptime and increase user satisfaction
• Having the right materials and devices in the right
locations improves document output productivity
– Multifunction devices (print/copy/scan/fax)
– High-speed production printers
Free Up IT Resources
Reduce the printer burden
• Remote monitoring software reports device status
and errors reducing IT help desk calls
• Outsourced service eliminates IT from spending time
on issues not requiring their expertise
Up to 50% of IT help desk calls are printer related

Without knowing what you have, what you are doing with those devices, and what those devices are costing, adding more devices generally does not solve the
problems or reduce the costs related to printer fleets

Without remote monitoring technology and an
