Every year, tons of paper is used in workplaces all over the world, in both large and small offices. Many of these offices have actively taken up recycling, but even though it is an inexpensive and environmentally conscious option, a much more cost-effective strategy is to reduce daily paper consumption.
I have always had this burning question in the back of mind, “Why do we Print?” Aren’t we supposed be working in Paperless offices by now?
We all imagine offices of the future to be a place of efficiency, sustainability, a collaborative setting where computers support our daily print routines and processes. But in reality, being human, your environment or what you are exposed to, quickly determines your print behaviour.
Research has shown that implementing software tools to manage printing can reduce paper usage by up to 20%. The most effective print management software tools can be broken down in the following functions:
Device Management Software – Applications that facilitate proactive monitoring of devices within the print fleet (i.e. toner low alerts, maintenance required, page counts, etc.)
Print Management Software – Applications that facilitate the management of users by means of rules-based printing, such as default mono / double-sided printing. This will also facilitate a follow-me solution, where a user can authenticate at any device on any site.
Green Office’s purpose is to make business more efficient and sustainable with the implementation of our Managed Print Service Solution.
This model is based on a very transparent approach and is aligned with clearly defined objectives of our clients.
Our approach and methodology is based on 13 years of development.
It is a universal truth that printing can become a very costly expense if it is not closely managed. Looking at a school environment, printing cannot be done away with as printing plays a critical role in the education environment. As technology evolves, educational institutions are challenged to keep up with the latest trends and they must do so with a limited budget.
A common misconception is that educational technology replaces printing, as well as replacing the role of the teacher. Technology in the education space is there to support the teacher and school management in their daily activities and to enhance the teaching experience. Budgetary constraints become a barrier for schools to adopt the latest teaching technology and therefore place school management under immense pressure to keep expenses to a minimum while at the same time innovating within the school space.
