  • Description: The Procter & Gamble Co is turning over every stone to find hidden savings and it found millions of dollars -- all hidden under thousands of printers and copiers. The Cincinnati-based consumer products company realized the savings after it hired a contractor to manage its global array of printing devices and the paper and ink cartridges they consume. Using a managed print services (MPS) provider, as P&G did, is a way to consolidate, centralize and outsource management of your company's printing and copying functions. A true MPS' provider offers much more than just a maintenance and ink-and-toner-replacement contract. This is a contract with a third party that almost plays an advisory role to you, says IDC analyst Angele Boyd. They provide continuous monitoring of your environment and know where the output is going, how much is being used by different departments and what type of output is being produced.
