How It Works:

Assess

Expert consultants will review your current output services infrastructure and identify opportunities to improve performance, streamline operations and reduce costs.

Most often, managers in mid-sized operations will be unsure of the exact number or type of output devices in operation, associated costs, or the true output volume of those devices' print, fax and copy operations. A quick assessment based on their rough estimate will likely significantly miss the mark.
