A typical office consists of a number of departments, each with their own unique print requirements. For a small to medium sized business, a centrally-located multifunction printer with advanced options such as stapling, sorting, or hole punching may satisfy the majority of users, while a creative team may require a high quality colour printer and human resources may benefit from a strategically-placed black and white desktop printer.
The goal of any MPS program is to streamline workflow and increase productivity by improving everyday office processes. Simple changes like having the proper equipment placed strategically can drastically improve workflow and productivity almost immediately.
