Océ extends its Managed Print Services across other European countries

Océ Managed Print Services is a further development of Océ’s current service offerings. “MPS is not new to Océ but merely the logical next step,” says Jo Bleser, Vice President Business Development of Océ Managed Print Services. “It extends our business model with the current market need. Our own direct sales force and service organization, our long experience in the printing industry and the solid MPS infrastructure are the perfect foundation to take Océ’s MPS to a higher level for corporate and institutional customers.”

Industry figures ─ and experience with our customers ─ show that actively managed print fleet environments typically reduce print related costs by as much as 30%. Savings like these are more important than ever now that companies have cut costs in other IT related areas, but have yet to seize possible gains in their print processes. Costs are also made transparent and predictable on an enterprise-wide basis, allowing accurate budgeting.

The savings are made on direct as well as indirect costs, by improving efficiency of the print and document infrastructure, eliminating the need for in-house staff skills, and attending to matters like operational support, maintenance, supplies management and procurement. If desired, Océ can also take over ownership of the printer assets, thereby reducing invested capital and supporting optimization of the customer’s balance sheet.

Océ Managed Print Services are implemented through a proven, phased approach that effectively addresses the customer’s print needs. The approach starts with the Assessment phase, in which the current situation is analyzed and, together with the customer, the print needs, TCO scenarios and implementation roadmap are defined. The Transition phase then ensures controlled migration to the desired situation, translating the customer’s corporate print policy into optimal products and services implementation. Finally, during Operations, the defined management tasks and services are delivered on a daily basis with the emphasis on continuous improvement.
