Measurement before management – the Vision print audit

Print remains one of the unseen costs in business that, typically, can account for up to 3% of total revenue each year. That’s a substantial budget and, with no set policy for purchasing or model selection, it’s one that can soon get out of control.

A Vision print audit will give you complete visibility of your internal print operation – by producing a definitive list of equipment, a guide to the true volume of work you are printing and what all this is costing in terms of consumables, maintenance and specialist support.

Each audit includes in-depth analysis of your current print estate and its usage:

• What is being printed?
• Establishes paper sizes and types and whether it’s single- or double-sided, in colour or black and white

• How many are being printed?
• Calculates the throughput of each copy, print and fax device

• On which devices is output produced?
• Assesses usage of each network printer, copier, multifunctional device, fax and local printer

• When is the output produced?
• Identifies peak workflow times

• Who is producing the output?
• Establishes who’s printing on which devices – by floor, area or department

• Why is the output produced?
• Analyses what’s essential and what’s not, who it’s intended for and how it might be better managed

Our audit will give you unique insight into the volume, cost and rationale of your print output. It’s essential detail that will enable you to understand and benchmark your current costs while informing the solution we recommend to drive the print cost and efficiency improvements you’re looking for.
