Reading about the benefits of a certain print solution is great, but at some point, you want to be able to imagine how those benefits would work in your own business. Getting a real-world view on various print solutions can be pretty helpful--so today, we'll help you get a closer look at one great option: printer fleet management.

What is Printer Fleet Management?

At its heart, printer fleet management is kind of like a puzzle. Essentially, you and your provider will sit down and come up with a list of requirements that must be met in order for your business to be cost-efficient, productive, and successful--like a streamlined print environment or a wide array of finishing options. Next, to meet those goals, you'll figure out what combination of machines will get the job done and how to best utilize each device's unique benefits. Finally, you'll move around other "puzzle pieces" like your workflow or your security processes to make sure that the final image is clear, powerful, and future-oriented.

Still not convinced? Let's take a look at those real-world benefits of printer fleet management.

• You'll be printing smarter.

"Smart printing" looks different to each company, so it's difficult to take anyone's word for it--but in general, printer fleet management can help you print only when necessary by ensuring that you have all the right devices at your fingertips. If you can rely on your machines to come through when necessary, you won't feel like you have to print everything right away.

• You'll save money.

Depending on how your printer fleet is currently organized, there are plenty of ways that fleet management can help you protect your budget. For example, do you really need a copier that has color and black-and-white options, or would a simpler machine be more efficient?

• Your data will be safer.

Print fleet management puts a lot of weight on data security. By helping you understand your strengths and weaknesses and helping you integrate every printer, copier, and mobile device into your security plan, fleet management helps keep your data safer than ever.
