One of the critical discs in the administrative backbone of the American school system is printing. As technology advances with every new year, many schools struggle to keep up with the best equipment and devices for effective printing processes. Managed print services (MPS) can be of assistance for schools as to effectively print and stay within allotted budgets.
MPS and Helping Schools
Schools face an abundance of printing challenges every year that can be easily identified and solved by managed print services. MPS can help determine the print environment and device issues and provide solutions based on a school’s current process.

Solutions from MPS
Managed print services can offer solutions to improve an institution’s current processes. This includes technology upgrades, central supply purchasing, and reduced energy usage and costs. These results look like this:

When a school chooses managed print services, they will see immediate short-term benefits and can expect long-term savings.
