Make printing simple with Brother MPS
When faced with the task of installing and maintaining a fleet of printers, it’s little wonder organisations can feel bogged down by print admin. Thankfully, the cost and complexity of printer management can be reduced with the help of managed print services (MPS).
But are you happy with your current MPS provider? Switching your technology provider is a big decision, but you can benefit from having a true supportive partner at your side to give you the best-fit solution for your organisation.
Brother MPS is a tailored managed print service than can suit businesses of all sizes – so you can save on costs, get reliable maintenance and information security, no matter what.
Let’s dive into the benefits of a switch to MPS with Brother.
1. Reduce print costs without compromising quality
Having a scattered approach to your organisation’s print setup can lead to inefficiencies in a number of areas, such as increased maintenance costs and inefficient printer downtime.
A managed print switch to Brother will connect all your devices to one monitoring system to ensure just-in-time delivery of replacement inks or toners – allowing you to get the supplies you need, delivered when you need them – and reduce the cost associated with stockpiling unused inventory.
My team is on hand to conduct a thorough print audit to identify ways to consolidate your hardware, as having too many devices scattered around your organisation can take up valuable space and make managing supplies a challenge. We’ll then be able to calculate the true cost of an ad-hoc approach and identify even more ways to make savings.
2. Improve efficiency across your organisation
The amount of time your employees spend on printer-related tasks can be frustrating. The process of printing, scanning, copying or faxing documents on old hardware or poorly configured software is just the start. There is also the time spent fixing device malfunctions, the admin of ordering ink cartridges and toners, and the downtime between the cartridge running out and the replacement arriving to consider too.
Brother MPS will identify these problems and include plans, such as automated supplies, remote device monitoring and centralised control, to reduce the hidden waste of employees’ time on print-related tasks.
Freeing up precious IT staff time is at the core of a managed print service – giving them the opportunity to focus on system developments and infrastructure updates, rather than day-to-day maintenance.
3. Gain greater visibility and control over print usage
Our managed print service can track data that helps businesses understand print behaviour, reduce waste, and plan more effectively – giving you more control over print usage.
Brother MPS allows you to manage and monitor your business’s printing usage through the MPS web portal, providing visibility into print, support requests, sustainability performance, security measures and any user defined targets. This helpful dashboard means you can track print volume and costs, and easily see opportunities to streamline, save and optimise.
4. Enhance sustainability and reduce environmental impact
Reducing the amount of paper, electricity and print consumables you use is all part of being a responsible corporate citizen.
When you make the switch to Brother MPS, you’ll have access to our monitoring system where you can identify and track levels of print usage – putting you in a better position to intervene and reduce your environmental footprint. And you can show the results of your paper saving efforts in your Corporate Social Responsibility report.
You can also return your used Brother cartridges to us for free, and we’ll remanufacture or recycle all returned supplies – keeping them out of landfill. The number of returns you complete and the equation of that into CO2 saved will be available on the portal.
5. Strengthen security across your print network
With the ever-present risk of intellectual property theft and information security breaches, investing in secure printing technology has never been more important.
An organisation-wide print assessment, which is included when you make a managed print switch to Brother, can identify print and IP security risks for your organisation. Brother MPS will help mitigate those risks with a tailored print security plan, which could include printer sign-in procedures, user authentication, restricted user access, and secure scanning functions, coupled with enhanced security features like automatic intrusion detection.
Having Brother be your only printer provider reduces the number of people outside your organisation having access to your networked devices, which is a common underestimated security threat. Plus, in Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), Brother will cover evolving security threats – so you know you always have the most up-to-date protection.
6. Flexible plans that scale with your business
The most successful organisations look to continuously improve their processes to stay ahead. When you make the managed print switch, you’ll receive advice and strategic support from Brother experts in the field of workplace technology – keeping you as up to date as possible.
Brother MPS has a range of benefits that can help your business stay agile – such as the ability to customise your plan as your business changes or the option of cloud based or on-premises technology.
