Over time, inefficiencies can add up and become the driving force behind business failure. By learning to spot and correct inefficiencies, your business can flourish and be around long after others have ceased to exist.
Look for These Warning Signs
The warning signs that your business isn't as efficient as it used to be can sneak up on you. By paying attention to small problems, you can address them before they have a chance to cause lasting damage.
Here are a few of the most common inefficiencies and how to correct them.
Not getting full value from your investments.
Purchasing a new product or service is a step toward improvement, but there's more to every decision than just signing on the dotted line.
For example, your multifunction system can handle printing, copying, scanning, and faxing. If your office is still cluttered with desktop inkjet printers and fax machines, you're wasting money. Your multifunction device can also be used to route information to a digital document management system, saving even more time and money.
A Managed Print Services partnership is another step many companies take to lower costs and improve productivity. It's wise to take full advantage of your Managed Print Service's solutions and consider new strategies when they're offered.
Cutting corners to save a few dollars.
You've been getting by with your old copier, but does it cost you more than you realize? Without the latest equipment, your business may be at risk from security vulnerabilities and have no solution in place to adopt the most recent digital document solutions. A Managed Print Services assessment can help you find out how much it costs to use your existing equipment. They can also help you implement solutions to reduce your costs by as much as 30%.
