What is a TCO? (Total cost of ownership)
Total Cost of Ownership allows you to understand the cost of the device over its life. It should include the purchase cost, cost of toner and supplies, paper, power, and all support components including repair cost, parts, maintenance and help desk and IT support.

A quality MPS solution should provide a print strategy that enables the latest technology to increase productivity and secure your print environment. It should include all you printing, fax, copy and scanning devices.
Why does a print strategy matter to my organization?
Having a print strategy is critical to reducing your environmental footprint, reducing waste, helping to identify and understand how work gets down, managing the workflow, removing waste and non-value add processes and provide the facts and data needed to improve decisions.
What does a managed print environment support our “Going Green” initiative?
An MPS solution provides the data needed to make the correct decisions to allow you to eliminate wasteful devices, improve recycling, and reduce paper usage as a part of your “Go Green” strategy.
What is the assessment and how long does it take?
The initial assessment provides an inventory of the devices at your site and the time to complete it will vary based on the number of devices and if they are network connected. For most sites the time to complete the initial assessment will be less than 4 hours. More in depth assessments will be performed during the MPS program with a goal of continual improvement on costs, environmental footprint and workflow.
