Printing is a core IT function that presents numerous cost reduction opportunities. This webcast will provide guidance for optimizing the organization's print strategy.

For most companies, the output fleet represents a significant annual expenditure (5% of the average IT budget and between 1-3% of company revenue) and, more importantly, a significant opportunity for savings. The average output fleet presents a low-hanging opportunity for most IT departments to realize savings of 20-30% that directly impact the bottom line.

Centralizing printer fleets, eliminating high-cost output devices, and optimizing print jobs can yield short, mid, and long-term cost reduction results with minor behavioral changes and minimal consequences on day-to-day business activities. Assess print services for cost saving opportunities to reduce IT's cost to serve the business.
