YOUR BUSINESS
NEEDS LESS, NOT MORE
While the benefits of an MPS program are easy to
understand, the challenges begin when dealers try to
implement MPS. Which software tools will you use to
monitor devices? How will you service and supply other-
branded devices? Can meter reads be automatically input
into your accounting system? How can your sales team
leverage an MPS program to help customers better manage
their printer fleets? Are there automated software tools that
can help your service team and customers deploy printing
hardware more efficiently?

In addition to these important questions, you must also
consider the future direction of MPS. When Canon designed
the Managed Document Services (MDS) program, this
question was considered in detail. Canon has built a robust
program that can help dealers improve their managed
print programs today while also considering the “complete
document” in both electronic and hard-copy formats. This
thinking combines key aspects of managed print within an
MDS program, providing a more simplified, holistic offering
to support management of the printed page, the electronic
document, and their supporting output devices. The result
is a unified software platform that dealers can use to help
increase sales.

Managed Print Services Versus Managed Document Services
Like many dealers today, you have undoubtedly heard the
industry buzz surrounding managed print services (MPS) and
the revenue and cost reduction potential it could bring your
business. Until now, delivering a managed print services
program required dealers to invest in several different software
applications in order to build and maintain a program. In
addition to the software investments, dealers often needed
several employees to manage and administer that software.
Once software is installed and configured, information is often
difficult for sales people to access, and customers are often
left in the dark. It’s not uncommon for dealers to have spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars in MPS investments with
little to show for their efforts.
