Businesses Save with Printelligent's Managed Print Solution in 2008
Printelligent Experiences Growth Despite Economic DownturnSalt Lake City, Utah — January 29, 2009— Rob Wellman, CEO of Printelligent, announced the company grew its revenue in 2008, despite hard economic times, proving deployment of Printelligent?s Managed Print Solution cuts overhead for businesses and improves operational efficiencies.
"Printelligent had a good year in 2008, gaining clients and revenue," said Wellman. "Our Managed Print Solution saves money — typically between 20 to 30 percent of printer related costs. We help our clients manage these costs more efficiently and cut overhead."
Printelligent did not change its revenue goal during 2008, even when economic struggles became common place. Printelligent experienced a 10% increase in managed print revenue with hardware sales increasing 28% from 2007. In 2009, Printelligent has already established an increased revenue goal of 20% for managed print and has announced strategies for growth through partnerships and geographic expansion.
Businesses experience initial cost savings as Managed Print services begin. Printelligent takes over the management of the company?s printers while consulting with the client's IT leadership. Employees previously involved in printer support tasks, such as ordering inventory, troubleshooting printer problems or processing printer supply invoices, focus on higher priorities. Printelligent clients enjoy the benefits of working with one trusted provider for all printing needs. Clients receive remote monitoring of printers, supplies and service on-demand, as well as tailored management reports regarding the company's printers. Service costs are summarized in a quarterly invoice that includes all print-related costs.
"Printelligent is very proficient at providing managed print services; we've been doing it for 20 years," said Wellman. "We provide the highest quality of service in the industry. Our clients count on our two-hour response and fixing printer problems on the first visit. We're very proud of our 89% first-visit fix rate."
Clients experience a second wave of cost savings when account managers provide expert recommendations based on management reports of the printer fleet. Suggestions are made for printer placement based on over/under printer utilization, as well as strategic hardware purchases, especially when the technology in multifunction printers can improve workflow, increase productivity, save costs, and replace expensive copiers and legacy printers. Printers are placed in locations to serve the needs of employees, and maximize printer use by funneling the majority of print volume to lowest cost printers. On-going savings occur as Printelligent experts continue to consult with clients making them aware of special programs offered by manufacturers. All these cost saving measures can add up to as much as 38% in printer-related costs, often amounting to thousands of dollars in savings for a single client.
"We saw businesses successfully cut overhead costs in 2008, as our clients benefited from our Managed Print Solution," said Wellman. "Initiating a managed print service is a sure-fire way to see immediate and long-term cost savings."
