It can be very easy to let the amount of copying and printing devices in your business get out of hand. When upgrading to new copiers and printers, oftentimes old equipment will stick around in the office until it ceases to function properly. This can be a huge drain on your IT resources and end up costing you an arm and a leg to keep all copiers and printers stocked with supplies and operating at peak efficiency.

Consolidating your copiers and printers into high volume devices throughout your office will show a number of benefits right away, including cost savings and increased efficiency. Here are the best reasons to consolidate your equipment when you are looking to upgrade:

  • Reduced Utility Costs: By eliminating excess desktop and single function devices throughout your office, you will see an immediate improvement on your monthly energy costs.
  • Flexibility: Give your office the flexibility it needs by equipping it with centralized multifunction devices. Multifunction devices have many benefits over their single function counterparts, and can significantly increase efficiency throughout your office.
  • Maximized Uptime: With centralized devices, it is simple if one device goes down to shift use over to another device. High capacity multifunction devices can easily handle high volume printing, and offer functionality for printing, copying, scanning and faxing.
  • Optimized Maintenance Schedule: By having equipment that varies in make and model, as well as type, you can never get in a truly routine maintenance schedule. By centralizing equipment, you not only maximize uptime, but also can get on a routine schedule that will ensure your equipment will always be running smoothly.
