Managed Print Services (MPS) – Maximizing Business Efficiency and Profitability

Use MPS to automate processes and gain control over your printer fleet.



MPS - The Mortar That Binds

Whether your printer fleet consists of 5 or 5,000 devices, visibility, control and management can be achieved by deploying an array of customized services, collectively called Managed Print Services (MPS). Think of MPS as the mortar that binds your print infrastructure together, creating a unified network of devices and solutions that work in concert to help IT administrators efficiently measure, monitor, and manage workflow.

The benefits of MPS are far-reaching:

  • Assists with regulatory compliance
  • Boosts bottom-line cost savings
  • Provides tighter document, data, and device security
  • Increases operational efficiency and productivity
  • Reduces IT burden
  • Supports environmental initiatives

New Office Dynamic

As a result of Covid-19, you are likely navigating uncharted waters, making MPS a smart strategy. Take, for instance, the sudden shift to workfrom home (WFH). Already a growing trend, remote staffing has dramatically accelerated during this time, causing a marked redistribution of office workflow.

A Brother MPS assessment may uncover ways to right-size your fleet. This may entail replacement of outdated, high cost-per-copy (CPC), multi-vendor environments with more economical, more reliable Brother devices. Each is selected and strategically-placed based on application requirements and volume trends.

From a service and support standpoint, managing different device makes and models places significant burden on help desk personnel. In contrast, single-source solutions decrease infrastructure complexity (IT burden) and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO). A standardized document processing platform through Brother has many other advantages, including:

  • Brother Priority Overnight Exchange (free, contactless shipping to office or home)
  • Supply discounts through Brother Value Print Program
  • Streamlined supply inventory management
  • Technical phone support
  • Toner/ink recycling


Next Steps

You can achieve a balanced deployment while ensuring appropriate social-distancing measures are in place. And with scalable services working behind the scenes, you can maximize efficiency and productivity across your business.
