The importance of using a professional technology supplier for business print network managementThe importance of using a professional technology supplier for business print network management
In companies with fewer than 500 employees,the business uses their business printing devices a lot. To get the best out of the resources your business owns,whether you are building a new printer network or adding new devices to an existing one,you need a solution that is versatile,cost-effective and tailored to suit your particular needs. To reach this goal this,you need the assistance of an experienced technology company to ensure all the right boxes are being covered. When thinking about your business printing needs,here are some key areas to think about.
Growth: preparing for your future business needs
Your printer network is a substantial investment,and you want it to work for the long term. Think about your business’ potential for growth and how your printing needs might alter. With the help of experienced help,you can take growth into consideration ahead of time to ensure you have a robust network for the long haul. There must not be too much burden on individual nodes,but at the same time,you don’t want to have more than you need. Leave it to the professionals to find the right balance. Speaking of which…
Print volume: consistently meeting your needs
You need machines that can deal with even your highest print volume. An experienced consultant can take this into account both the average print volume and those occasional surges. By ‘average’ print volume,we mean the number of pages expected to print on an average day’s use. The ‘occasional surges’ refers to those times of year when print volume is pushed significantly higher than usual. It’s always best to have machines that can cope with above-average demands,and a good technology company will be able to identify the best way forward.
Cost: staying on-budget
The costs that come into the picture are the purchase price and the cost of maintenance and consumables. How much are you able to budget for your printer network? Do you think you can get the most out of that budget by yourself? And have you thought about the ongoing cost per page,and also energy consumption and maintenance? An expert can help you make the most of your budget with their specialist knowledge and possible connections to get the best deals for you.
Security and network management: getting everything right
The modern printer is more like a computer than a mere office accessory,with internet and WiFi connections as well as their own storage. This makes them a target for hackers,and printer networking and cyber security are specialist areas that require expert knowledge. You can’t simply make any old printer more secure; you’ll need to future-proof your hardware to ensure your network is running at top capacity and your security measures are top-notch. Cutting corners here can lead to printer networks that don’t work properly,or have led to damaging information leaks that could be really costly to your business.
